How much $$$ is a gallon of change?

I had a 5 gal jug full of all types of change.

After 10% coinstar it came out to $75.

 

Well depending on how long you've been collecting you might want to look over your coin you may have some in there that are worth more than you think

 

HAHAHA, I just went through this dude. I had a 5 gallon bottle of nothing but quarters. Dont take it to a coinstar cause they charge you like 9% to count it. When dealing with 5 gallons of quarters thats a chunk of change. It took me like 4-6 weeks to count and roll all mine but in the end I had over $6,000 in nothing but quarters. I about had a stroke.

 

holy jesus batman! thats insanity!! i definitely dont have all quarters but there arent many pennies in there. this has got my hopes up for a nice little payday. def going to try and get to the bank this weekend

 

well i did find a canadian penny, and a 2 peso peice. not sure how much those are worth hahaha

side note: i used to have some of the ww2 steel pennies i kept in this brown plastic apollo command module coin bank, but they rusted and i lost them. <--- cool story

 

One of the credit unions that I bank with has a coin machine that will count your change for free, give you a certificate, and then allow you to cash in your change free of charge. This could be something to look for with whomever you bank with.

 

Sucks the bank won't count them for ya anymore. They did give me free wrappers though. My jug was so heavy with the quarters. I'll bet it weighed 150lbs, at least. Took me about 10 years to fill it though.

 

If this was ask.com, I would have voted that the #1 answer.

Some relatives of mine had a BUNCH of coins around b/c they used to own a laudrymat. They didn't want to roll them all themselves, and even the best coin sorting/rolling machine wasn't good enough for these quantities, so Coinstar was the way to go.

They don't take a cut if you get a gift certificate to certain vendors, so they decided to buy things (most of which they needed anyway) from the sponsors and went to town. There were SEVERAL thousand dollars in the bags/jars/cannisters. It was awesome. They bought a TV, a new laptop, something else I can't remember.... Fun times.

 

I have one of those gallon jugs that counts the change for you, it gives u an lcd readout. I have about 1.5 inches of change at the bottom and it's at $95. So a full gallon I would guesstimate is approaching $1000.

 

How mich did you get for your gallonof change?

 

Myself Im just hopen for change)

 

I hope thats not an Obama joke


OP, this is actually a pretty intresting question. I have maybe an inch or two in coins in a Folgers plastic jug. I think I'm going to save my coins till I have enough for an AR..Thanks for the idea

 

The key is to use separate containers for silver and pennies. Pennies just dominate the collection if it's your standard mix bc there's a higher probability of getting pennies in change. I'm guessing a gallon of silver would be near $1000. Also some banks will take unrolled change for a fee, generally much smaller fee than coin star.

 

You Jersey boy are quick

 

That and I'm getting tired of hearing about him. Change this, change that..ain't done SHIT!


Rant over.

It ended up being about $426 . When i traded it in the jug was about 7/8 full
