<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 246911, member: 4552"]You must remember that all such calculations as noted for establishing the amount of coins to make a pound of any denomiation would be based on the coins being new, not worn. For example if you treid to put pre 82 pennies (cents) in a plastic roll there SHOULD naturally be 50. However, if you've done that you would have noticed that occationally you can put 51, 52 and sometimes 53 cents in those plastic rolls. Are the plastic rolls different. NO. The more worn any coin is the less it weighs and the less room it takes up anywhere. Also, some coins such as pennies, have occumulated darkening from exposure to Oxygen. This has added weight to each one making a pile of 50 weigh as much more than a roll should wiegh. Very, vey noticable in bulk quantities. Summation is the calculations for weight of any coins are noted as if they are perfect as from the Mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
