<p>[QUOTE="davidh, post: 2121620, member: 15062"]If the jug was packed solid with copper it would weigh 372 pounds. Loose pennies don't have the same density but probably fill over 50%, and possibly closer to 65% so your jug must have weighed around 225 pounds. I'm assuming a mixture of copper and zinc cents weighted toward the latter so there would be about 175 pennies to the pound for a total of about $393.75 in the jug, if they were all pennies. There were nickels too so if the mixture was approximately 50-50 I'd say the total value is around $900 +/- $150, depending on the actual mixture.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
