This is what happens after 13 years of collecting pennies (Updated 9-9-06)
    #5600944 -

So I finally filled up this coke bottle piggy bank. I decided to weigh it so I could estimate how much money was in it (it weighed 79lbs btw), but when I took it off the scale and set it on the ground it burst and my pennies flooded my floor. ROAR.







Someone help me with the math here, I'm too stoned...

A penny weighs 1/10th of an ounce and there are 16 ounces in a pound. If I have 79 pounds of pennies, about how much money is it? I came up with around 126 bucks, but I'm retarded at basic math questions like this so I could be wrong.

the only way to tell is to put them all into rolls and then add up the rolls of pennies.

126 dollars is correct.

Here's a monkey wrench being thrown into the calculation:  Before a certain year (sometime in the 60's) pennies were made out of different stuff than they are now.  Some pennies will be different weights.  :shrug:

No,find a grocery store with a Coin Star.That is the best way,they charge a few dollars or somthing but its worth it.They charge less for less amounts of money.

Better yet.. some banks now have coin machines you can use free of charge, without having an account.

I use Coinstar to turn in my old change. Coinstar machines charge 8.9 cents per dollar. An 8.9% return for a few minutes of work... What a racket.

Taken from the link I posted.


The mass of a penny has changed throughout the years. The first Lincoln cent was produced in 1909 and had the wheat ears pattern on the reverse side. The composition of the penny was pure copper from 1793 to 1837. Then following that, it was made of bronze, and in 1857, it was made out of copper. In 1943, the content of the coin was changed to zinc coated steel because of the copper shortage during World War 11. Before 1982, pennies were 95% copper and 5% zinc. Then after 1982, the compostion was 97.6% zinc, and 2.4% copper. So this means that the pennies made before 1982 will have a different mass from those made after 1982.

That looks like some shit that I would do. Your hands will be all dirty as hell by the time you get all of those picked up. Pennies are useless. I think they should be taken out of circulation, personally. 126 bucks will help though.:thumbup:

10 penies * 16 ounces = 160 penies per pound

$1.60 * 79 pounds = $126.40

Now you have to figure out how much that bottle of yours weighs, you can't forget the "TARE" weight. Your dollar total will be a little less, can't imagine that bottle weighing more than maybe several pounds.

Develop a new hobby: coin stacking.

The bottle probably only weighs about a pound, or 2. It's made from thinnish plastic.

Found some AWESOME rolls in Birmingham, Friday night!!! Grade A mdma, felt like a mda mix, too. Speedy. My favorite. I'm supposed to be getting some more, but it's not for sure.
