[QUOTE="Atarian, post: 1976499, member: 34285"]Took my change jar to the credit union today. Actually I had sorted the contents from the jar into four vinyl bank zipper pouches. One pouch had cents, one had nickels and dimes, one had quarters, and one had dollars (small - not Eisenhower). Person nearest the total dollar amount as the machine counted it wins what was rejected - a thrashed 'war nickel' and two 40% silver quarters! (Awesome, I know). One guess per person, to the nearest cent. Please do not revise your post/guess. Clues: - Total weight on my digital bathroom scale was 44 pounds. It's pretty accurate. This includes the zipper bags. - There were 1,325 cents. - There were more quarters than anything else. - There were no half dollars - only cents, nickels, dimes, quarters, and dollars. - There were more dollars than dimes, but there were more dimes AND nickels than dollars. - Total coin count was 4,216. I'll post the result with a scan of the deposit slip (which breaks it down by denomination) at the end of the contest. Ends Monday evening at 6:00 PM West Coast time. Good luck![/QUOTE]
