<p>[QUOTE="andy21us, post: 660476, member: 2452"]There were two way that we could have figure this problem: one was just count and rolled the coin as I searched through them, or try to calculate the amount of coins that was in the bottle. The co-worker need the money and did not want to pay the cost of taken them to a coin mechine so the first option was out. In order to use the second option there were 2 factor that we need to take into account. The first factor was as Doug mention, the weigh of the cent change, 2 what else was in the bottle (nickles, dimes, and foreign coins). The only way to get around the weigh change is to take an average of the coins, 50% per 1982 and 50% 1982 to date. The second factor we did not concern with because if there were other coins they would not account for much of the weight (Canadan cents .15 oz, Dime .05 oz). With this in mind we come up with this formual: weight of coins 52.03 times the oz in a lb 16 dividend by the average weight of 100 cents (50% per1982 and 50% 1982 to date) which is 9.40 oz = 8856 cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now come the fun part going through all the cents.
