firstime 0 #1 July 7, 2006 A friend of mine just filled a 5 gallon water jug (took 3 yrs) with just quarters, how the hell would one do the math to figuire how much $ could be in that jar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MF42 0 #2 July 7, 2006 Find an identical jug, empty, and weigh it. Weigh a known quantity of quarters. Weigh the jug full of quarters. Do the math. Should be pretty close if you're careful. Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #3 July 7, 2006 With just a #10 can with not even filled with loose change, I cashed in over $150.00. I can't even fathom what a 5 gallon water bottle of quarters would be. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstime 0 #4 July 7, 2006 great idea, I just might pop a nut lifting the jar to put it on a scale Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MF42 0 #5 July 7, 2006 Just envisioning a $10 roll of quarters, and thinking about how many rolls you could fit in a 5 gal jug...and realizing that loose quarters will fill the space more efficiently than rolls... It wouldn't surprise me if there's a couple grand in there! Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twoply 0 #6 July 7, 2006 I count change from vending machines and one mason's pint jar of quarters is between $157-$161 almost every time. Dont know if the shape of the jar would alter the amount. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twoply 0 #9 July 7, 2006 I think it's: 2 pints to a quart 4 quarts to a gallon So like 40 quarts to 5 gallons. 40 times $160 is $6400 or so? Someone check that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twoply 0 #11 July 7, 2006 What's kinda strange is the same mason's pint full of dimes is almost the same amount, around $160. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twoply 0 #12 July 7, 2006 What's even more interesting is that if you hold just a roll of nickels in your hand, you can hit someone with about 60% more power. Handy information when the wife hasn't done the dishes. My wife is big though. Sweats a lot too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
