I’ll take it to the bank tomorrow. It’s never been raided for quarters. About 6 inches across. Could be $30-$60 in my estimation.
Closest guess gets a reply.
EDIT: It was $79.85
$45 in quarters, $18.60 in dimes, $8.10 in nickles, and $8.15 in pennies.
~$3.50
Damn it, monster!
This is exactly the comment I opened this thread to find. Thank you.

- Nickels: Approximately 50, worth $2.50.
- Dimes: Approximately 50, worth $5.00.
- Quarters: Approximately 30, worth $7.50.
Total estimation: Around $17.00.

Tell them what they’ve won, Bob…
TIL I am very bad at estimating the value of coins.
.mmm… About tre fiddy…
Get back in your loch.
In a week, probably 10% less
Idk what an inch is or what those coins are worth
~23$
The average of all the serious guesses in this thread.
This answer, but add $0.01
Yeah, but face it 78 bucks really only buys about $5 of eggs, right?
$43.20
I’ll give you three fiddy
(Gotta admit, ya asked for it!)
Worth is largely contextual no? eg, if you’re offering it to a drowning man, that jar is worth less than nothing.
But hopefully that jar had good parents that built up its esteem, so that in any context it has the greatest gift of all: self-worth.
at least 1 cent
Good luck getting the bank to count it for you. My bank would only accept bulk coins like this if they were counted out into separate coin bags - which they would give you. Then they can check by weight.
I remember this archaic shit. Now every bank in a larger town I visit in Europe has an automatic counter which is free for the bank’s customers.
Yeah, it’s been that way for decades. You just empty the jar/bag into the machine and it sorts/counts everything automatically, and then you can transfer the amount to your bank account.
When I was a kid I used to love this. We’d go sell stuff at flea markets and then take the bag of coins to the bank. Watch number go up, yay.
USA here, my
bankcredit union does this. Much better than taking it to the Coinstar at the grocery store which is actually the same machine but charges a fee to use.
$53.47, I’ll wait for your reply.
