I've delivered pizza for three years.

For the past two years, when a customer said "Keep the change...", I would keep the bills and throw the change into a 5 gallon water jug. My plan was to fill up the entire jug but I finished school and got an entry level IT job. That means no more pizza delivery and no more fist-fulls of coinage.

I've heard that a full 5 gallon jug is about $1500. I estimate that this jug is worth about $800. There are very few pennies and a few bills. The jug easily weighs over 100 pounds.

What say you, Supramania? Cuanto es?

I filled a half gallon jar with pocket change (coins only) and it was around $150. I would say yours is in the 700-900 range.

No idea as I suck at these games LOL

But I will warn you, plastic or glass jugs of that size aren't meant for those loads. I've seen em burst and it's NOT pretty (especially the glass)

i wouldnt doubt if its over $1000 but is that really over 2 years of saving change i would think it would be full i filled mine quarter of the way in about 5-6 months and it was nothin but nickels dimes quarters i had around $300. The pennies are small but take up a lot of space...Next time get 2 different water jugs and 1 for pennies and other for nickels dimes and quarters thats what im doing right now..... :biglaugh:

really depends on the mix. from my experience(also a driver) i have had my 5 gal jug there a few times. mine has been as high as 1500 at that point with no bills, and as low as 900. judging from your mix....1200?
