Pennies Per Gallon

[glass]

How many pennies in a 5 gallon water bottle?

[shinnosuke]

Is the glass half empty or half full?

Lets say it was full in 1991 what amount of copper would you guess

I was just thinking about this exact subject this weekend. My parents gave me a three gallon bottle and I was wondering how much face value this bottle will hold. Haven't done any kind of search yet. Maybe we'll get an answer here

I can get 5000 pennies in a one gallon paint can.

I get between $250-$280 per 5 gallon bucket.

This equals to $50 - $56 per gallon.

It depends on how much you want to shake the container.

Glass - Not recommended. This is one thing I would not want to clean up if dropped.

Unless you never plan to move it, for the sake of your back and your future health, you may want to consider filling smaller containers for storage.

25000 copper pennies = 171.4 lbs.

[slickeast]

Just use a hand truck.

Or stack them 3 high, 9 per level, on a (strong) pallet and have 2 tons of copper! Then you can use a forklift!

I think I can offer a definitive answer to this question..

I just weighed my 5 gallon PLASTIC water jug last night...

It weighs almost $200 lbs.... so at 146 * 200 = 29,200 pennies
