Here’s something random for you. I’ve been tossing my change into this old pretzel container for years. On Saturday, I will head to the bank for the official counting. Anyone care to venture a guess?
There should be some incentive. Mangesh, do we have any prizes back there? The person who comes closest without going over will possibly win something.*
*But not the money in the jar. I worked too hard for that. Maybe next time we’ll hold a “Guess My Weight” contest.
———–> Mangesh’s response: “Sure, why not! Let’s give out a mental_floss T-shirt to the winner, and a Law School in a Box to the second place.”
———–> Update: I’ve posted additional photos of the jar alongside other objects, for perspective. See those photos here.
———–> One More Update: The coins have been counted and the winning bidders will be announced Monday morning. We’re now closing the comments. Thanks for playing!

$120, watch out for silver and Bicentennial quarters, don’t let the bank keep those! Silver quarters (pre 1965) don’t show the copper guts when you look at the sides and Bicentennial (which have a higher but not 100% silver content), well, I’m sure you can spot those on your own…

I’ll be bold and say $356.04.
A service organization I’m in (Active 20-30 Club) has a program called Pennies-A-Day where we collect our spare change throughout the year. At our annual convention, we present it (in the form of a check, thank goodness) to a local charity. Last year, about 20 of our chapters wrote a combined check for over $14,000 to Cystic Fibrosis of Phoenix. It always amazes me how spare change can really add up!

I’ll say $63.00. A friend of mine has a glass water jug (the five gallon kind) and recently cleaned it out to take to the bank. A large portion of her summer vacation to Italy, Germany, and France came from that. Really is amazing how it adds up. I second the note to watch for the rare coins–especially old pennies and nickles!

I’m guessing $94.17. I collect my spare change in old diaper wipes boxes. Over the years I’ve bought a laptop and a digital camera with my collections. Out of each bi-monthly paycheck I take $100 cash for gas money, incidental groceries. . basically walking around money. Whatever is left of that at the end of two weeks goes in the boxes and I start over. It’s an incentive to curb my impulse spending and a great way to save for things that aren’t necessarily in the budget.

I had to laugh …. when’s the last time you got 176 responses to something? Yes, we come to the website because we love trivia and are a little nerdy (OK, maybe I should just speak for myself), but offer us a free T-shirt and we go nuts. It’s like those crazy women at one of those day-after-Christmas sales. I’ll guess $64, with no rhyme or reason why, it’s just the number that popped into my head. By the way, will you ever offer that Pavlov T-S in another color?

if that’s all you’ve collected after years of saving, that’s kind of sad.

ehh again is the picture how much is in there or did it get filled?
Because I’m not overly original I’ll say $100 at the level it looks like there and $250 if its full – and that is my estimate of the full value, not the value minus whatever percent the bank takes for counting it (at mine, yes even if you are a member)

I had no idea how badly people wanted a t-shirt or law-degree substitute.
Couple of clarifications:
1) What you see is what you’re guessing. I will take that jar, exactly as it looks in the photo, to the bank on Saturday. I wish I had filled it up completely. I have not.
2) I live in the U.S.
3) My bank does not charge any fees for counting. But just in case they read this post and start a new policy to get a piece of my coin action, you’re still guessing the total amount in the jar.
4) I don’t know the actual volume of the jar. Tonight I can post a picture with something beside it to give perspective.
Good luck!

$89.73. Looks penny-heavy.
At Commerce Bank in the Philadelphia/NJ area, they have a free coin counting machine that doesn’t take a cut, like Coin Star. They also had a function that let you guess how much you had beforehand – if you got within 25 cents or so, you’d get a prize! Like, a free pen.
