2 ~ 5 Gallon Bottles of Pennys

[Siegfried Schlagrule]

When i filled a one gallon glass whiskey bottle with pennies for my daughter it held
just over $66. Thus for each five gallon jug you would have $330 face. The second jug is not full so say it has $264 face. Call it just under $600 face and divide your pound number into 60,000 to estimate weight. siegfried schlagrule

The home a person lives in is not necessarly indicative of thier wealth. Most folks who live in large homes don't own em, the bank does.

I have been told by 4 or 5 of my customers over the years that a 5 gal bottle holds about $400 worth of pennies, I forget what they told me it weighs... I know with water they weigh about 45 pounds...

The first bottle of the day is the heaviest.. after that, they all weigh the same.... that's what I tell my customers.

Seems like a good way to get rid of a lot of zincolns quickly when the dump banks are being cranky.

The weight depends on if they're copper cents (US never made pennies) or copper plated zinc.
