Exactly one gallon's worth. Just don't let it overflow.

Isnt this the same guy who keeps posting troll threads?

 

Who cares. There is never a dumb question, just dumb answers.

I used to think that, but I have heard some pretty dumb questions in my time.

 

Do you have Prince Albert in the can?

 

The correct question is, "Do you have Prince Albert in a can?"

"Yes, we do!"

"He's a skinny little runt, ain't he."

 

"Is your refrigerator running?" "Better run and catch it."

 

I gather that you haven't checked out the OP's other threads.

 

Oh, yes I have. That's why I gave a dumb answer.

If you melted the Silver Eagle down (which is 1 troy ounce, or approximately 1.01 ounces), and if there are 128 ounces in a gallon, then you can fit 126.732673267 melted Silver Eagles in a 1 gallon container. But since we are talking in terms of whole Silver Eagles, the answer would be 126.

Maybe next you can ask how many dimes I can fit in my ear. Magicians have been pulling them out rather frequently recently and I would like to know the total melt value in there.

Look in the mirror first.

 

Liquid ounce is not the same as weight ounces. I am thinking it would be about 666 until someone can come up with a different figure.

 

An ounce of liquid or an ounce of solid is still an ounce. The only thing that's different would be mass if its two different materials

Unless you are referring to the difference between troy and advorois (sp)

 

I guess I should have said volume in ounces is not the same as weight in terms of ounces.

 

According to this site, it would be 1,401.63 ounces........

One gallon of water weighs 8.35 pounds. Since we know that water expands when it is frozen, it would no longer fit into a one-gallon container. Therefore, one gallon of ice would weigh less than one gallon of water.
