How much is this jar of coins worth?
How much is this jar of coins worth?
I'll take it to the bank tomorrow. It's never been raided for quarters. About 6 inches across. Could be $30-$60 in my estimation.
Closest guess gets a reply.
EDIT: It was $79.85
$45 in quarters, $18.60 in dimes, $8.10 in nickles, and $8.15 in pennies.
~$3.50
This is exactly the comment I opened this thread to find. Thank you.
Pennies: Approximately 200, worth $2.00.
- Nickels: Approximately 50, worth $2.50.
- Dimes: Approximately 50, worth $5.00.
- Quarters: Approximately 30, worth $7.50.
Total estimation: Around $17.00.
The jar looks like it's made a glass, which is common and probably worth only a few dollars.
Jars of coins, however, are much more rare, and could be worth a lot more. It's kind of hard to make jars of coins. Maybe if you melt them together. Sounds like craftsman work.
If you have a picture of your jar of coins -- maybe this was an upload of the wrong jar? your glass one? -- please post it so we can assess the worth. Thanks.
.mmm.. About tre fiddy..
Get back in your loch.
$72.35
You were closest! It was $79.85
Tell them what they've won, Bob....
TIL I am very bad at estimating the value of coins.
In a week, probably 10% less
The average of all the serious guesses in this thread.
This answer, but add $0.01
I'll give you three fiddy
(Gotta admit, ya asked for it!)
at least 1 cent
I also choose this rat's answer.
Yeah, but face it 78 bucks really only buys about $5 of eggs, right?
$43.20
Precisely three large eggs.
Good luck getting the bank to count it for you. My bank would only accept bulk coins like this if they were counted out into separate coin bags - which they would give you. Then they can check by weight.
I remember this archaic shit. Now every bank in a larger town I visit in Europe has an automatic counter which is free for the bank's customers.
Yeah, it's been that way for decades. You just empty the jar/bag into the machine and it sorts/counts everything automatically, and then you can transfer the amount to your bank account.
When I was a kid I used to love this. We'd go sell stuff at flea markets and then take the bag of coins to the bank. Watch number go up, yay.
USA here, my
bankcredit union does this. Much better than taking it to the Coinstar at the grocery store which is actually the same machine but charges a fee to use.
$53.47, I'll wait for your reply.
It really depends on the ratio of pennies and nickles to quarters and dimes. I helped my father in law sort a jar of coins he had collected from his parking lot at work, I estimated like $150-200 but there were almost 50% quarters and dimes and it turned out to be nearly $1000.
Interestingly, quarters and dimes have about the same value per weight. As in a pound of quarters has the same dollar value as a pound of dimes. You could weigh the jar and get a min max estimate and know it's somewhere between if it was all quarters or all pennies
a few dozen fake internet points.
$69.69
I think most guesses in this thread are a bit on the low side. I say $48.50.
$31.77
At least 3, maybe 4
probably $30-$60
Microsoft Bing Search CoPilot says $15.06.
I'm guessing about $12. I think the people over $20 in this thread either never had a change bucket or saved mostly quarters.
Whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

Give you a tenner for it.

I'm going with $50. I did some attempts at estimating the volume and assumed the average value of a coin in there is 5c
My gallon jug gets round $500, if it has a good amount of silver vs copper. Give or take $20-$30.
I'm going with $27.63
20.25, cuz why not 🙃

This is also my guess.
Fun fact. If we all try to guess accurately, the mean will be the correct number

Doubly fun fact: better take the median
