Every 100lbs of pennies is about $90.

Pennies only, a 5-gallon jug can fit about $400 (due to volume, theoretical limit is about $525)

All mixed together, nickels, dimes, quarters - the total can hit around $2k

For about 6 years I would dump all my pocket change into a big bucket beside the garage door when entering that way. It was a combination of every type of change. Sometimes when we needed it we would take some out but overall it was added to each day.

This summer it was getting close to spilling out so we decided to cash it out. We were going to take it to one of those coin machines at the grocery that charges you a percentage. Someone told my wife that one of the banks here would not charge for counting it if you brought it in on a weekday morning.

We guessed that the total would be around $500.

It was over $800!
