This could be fun idea
Heading to the river in the morning and makin a trip up to Laughlin to cash in 112 pounds of nickels, dimes and quarters. A year and a half worth of pocket change adds up fast :D .
Anyone care to guess the cash out total???
Ok...Here's The Deal, Sitting on my desk I have a Gift Certificate to: TEAGUE CUSTOM MARINE INC. in Valencia, Calif. Certificate # 2003-015, issued in July and good until July 2004 in the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00).
I will mail the certificate to the person that comes closest to the total dollar amount of the 112 pounds of coins. Someone's going to get it, but who???
I'll recheck this thread next week.
Good luck :D :D :D

112 pounds of nickels, dimes and quarters.....adjusted for dirt and grime, divided by pie, subtracted by a negative zero, adding for atmospheric pressure at an altitude of 500 feet above sea level, subtracting for any bite marks or a 3 legged buffalo nickel, I'll guess
$ 1,250.45

1. $1547.00 consisting of 4064 nickels, 8960 dimes, 1792 quarters (TMI)
2. $1660.00 consisting of 3383 nickels, 7459 dimes, 2984 quarters (TMI)
3. $1720.00 consistting of 3048 nickels, 5600 dimes, 4032 quarters (TMI)

Well it can`t end up with nothing less than a multiple of 5 or 10. Since its ALL silver. 112lbs. That`s a whole lot. Damn. My guess (without knowing total amount of each coin(currency) would be between 1900 and 4200 bucks. But thats very broad. So I`ll narrow it down to $2732.15.

Cool,
I do this every year for my gamblin money on vacation. If the coin subsists of lotsa quarters you can get 4 C's in a bigass coffe can and maybe weighs 25 lbs.
I'm afraid I'll have to take this problem with my colleagues.
Where do you get most of your change?
If I win I will put the certificate up for the first person to guess a number between 1 and 10. he he he
Ok I guess, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm $947.62
Plus the variance for weight at the equinox of course.
Peace Man :cool:

Have a grrrreat day, Greg--Acceptence Actually, I think my guess was 2nd at $1660.00 and actually first if guesses were not allowed to go over (like "The Price Is Right"). Besides, later guesses are easier - all you'd have to do is pick a spot in between (in the gaps) where there's room.
This was fun. Congrats to the winner!
