A drum is about a ton so almost $3000 FV. I am sure someone else will reply with more accurate figures, but that's a good ballpark for ya.

55 gallon drums seem to be the standard size, unless you actually meant a 50 gallon one of sorts. If 50, it would probably hold around $2700 FV

A little less than a ton. Wherever you decide to put it, make sure the floor can handle the weight.

Also make sure its on a pallet or something so you can easily move it later.

And, it is a good idea to put some kind of plastic lining in it before you start piling up cents.

I have some barrels of punch outs that are close to pennies and like everyone before mentioned around a ton (2000#) so what ever that works out to in pennies @ 68# per $100. Good luck.

Make sure the plastic is copper friendly. It can't have any chlorine in it.

Only if you shake it.. and those are hard to shake when full.

If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more
