Looks like a misleading picture to me.(illusion)
First off it just looks odd.
A lot of change to be dug in that period of time, by amount in cup
Second it looks like there is an air pocket/something besides clad in the cup
You can tell by the way that penny lays with an air pocket half way up on the left hand side of the picture
If you were to place change a in cup a little at a time, I don't think there would be an air pocket like that/lay like that
Look at the pennies at the bottom of the cup, "tilted sideways", shouldn't they be flat against the bottom?
at the top of the cup the change seems to be flowing towards mouth of cup.

So I wouldn't go by looks

:lightbulb: My guess is the cup was tilted forward before the picture was taken to create the illusion of more coins, creating a hill of coins, with a slope going down the cup. Glue added?

Glue, would partially explain choice of plastic cup as a container,

I drink my liquor from an old fruit jar.

Looks like a misleading picture to me
First off some of the clad does not look dug, it looks like a loose change dump

Looks like the old Guess the amount of gobstopper trick with the bowling ball in the middle.

good luck

Why are you being so rude? Terry didn't have to do this at all. Out of the goodness of his heart, he's has a honest guessing game offering prizes to the closest guesses. Good, clean fun!

Sorry, you got me! I'm also behind the Kennedy assassination, the fake Moon landing, Flight MH370, and the World Trade Center attack. :occasion14:
