Guess The Number of Pennies Contest

The contest is open to all those who are active members of CT and who have a minimum of 25 posts in the forums. Unfortunately only open to residents of North America (I have lousy luck shipping overseas.)

My summer hobby is metal detecting. This jar contains all the pennies/cents (mixed clad and copper and range in date from 1940 - 2009) that I found last year. I went out a lot- almost every possible day. The jar itself is 11 inches tall and 6 3/4 inches in diameter. I won't give the weight of the coins because they are uncleaned and some are pretty deteriorated so it wouldn't really matter.

All you have to do is guess how many pennies are in the jar.

Maximum 2 guesses per person.

The prizes are a pack of playing cards and a bank that has the Canadian $100 bill printed on them.

There will be two winners.

The winner with the closest guess gets his/her choice and the runner-up gets the leftover.

Contest closes Friday at 6:00 CST.

I'll post the winner Friday night.

Have fun and let the guessing begin!
