[QUOTE="Doug21, post: 1103614, member: 5650"]Thanks, that helps ! With those dimensions it seems that 10 boxes would about fit pretty decently into a 4 gallon milk crate ( I don't have one to measure). I get ( stacking boxes 5 high and 2 wide).... 10" long, 8.5 " wide, and 20.5 " high, maybe a bit high but the top two boxes could probably be turned sideways or take the rolls out. I think it's reasonably accurate to say a milk crate ( 4 gallon , not 6 gallon type) would hold $1,000 face value in boxed/ rolled nickels and weigh around 240 lbs with the packaging, and have a metal value near $1450.....that you theoretically can't melt. Does this seem correct, milk crate holds $1,000 face ? How hard is it to get boxes of nickels from a bank....if you don't own a business ? I'm guessing you could say my son collects coins and likes to search rolls of them ? Storing ( hoarding) the nickels seems feasible enough when you consider a milk crate holds $1,000. I see the nickel having to be changed in composition ( to Canadian standards, soon).[/QUOTE]
