How much do you think?

[Muscletang]

Ok I've had this jar on my chest that I've put all my change into at the end of the day. I put all my nickles, dimes, and pennies into it. I've been doing this for almost a year now and the jar is full and won't take a cent more.

I was wondering if anybody on here can guess just how much money is exactly in here.

Anyway, here are a couple of pictures of the jar for you to look at so start guessing.

How big is the jar? Its hard to tell. I would guess that there is about $44 in there.

do I get a prize if I guess right??????

Is this like those contests they had at elementary school where you got what was in the jar if you guessed right?

If so, I guess $55.

If not, then I withdraw my guess.

Yeah, how big is the actual jar? Looking at it right now, my guess would probably be around 40 bucks or so, but that could change depending on the size of the jar.

Well with no quarters in it...I'm gonna guess <35

[dugie6551]

Is it American money or Canadian?

American = $25.00
Canadian = $0.50

[AlmostStock]

I'll say $36.47

Don't dimes actually take up less space/$ though? The number of dimes in there will greatly affect the amount.

I need clarification on the rules... Now, I'm assuming you're not giving this money to anyone, but wanted to clarify... is this going to be like The Price Is Right, where you have to have the closest guess without going over the actual amount, or just the closest guess (even if you are over)? This will influence my decision.

haha, i've got you beat. i have an old quarter tub from a Casino, about 5" high by 4" wide, and circular, that is filled to the brim with pennies, dimes and nickels.

do you guys have coin star machines in the states? at some of our grocery stores up here, they have machines where you can take your small change, put it in the machine, and get the same value back in bills and/or larger coins. that's what i'm going to do with mine sometime this week, cause i need cash and i estimate i'd have about $70 at least in my casino tub.


anyways, my guess for yours would be around $45.

Sorry, that's funny.

let me see, between 25 and 30

I guess I should state the rules.

If you get within 10 cents of the actual amount, you win.
If more than one person is within 10 cents, whoever is the closest wins.

The winner will get a special surprise.

Anyway, I just got done counting it.

My guess is $37.81 (USD).

You may want to specify the duration that guesses will be accepted. You may also want to specify what occurs if there is a tie between two or more guesses (both being equidistant from the actual amount).

C'mon man, do I have to think of everything?

Just kidding, just trying to make the contest as difficult as possible for you!
