<p>[QUOTE="jpfeife, post: 1586197, member: 42598"]This isn't your typical question but I have a inquiry and if this question has been asked before please route me to the correct thread. My company is holding a 1 million coin drive with the proceeds going towards equipment for a local NICU. Anyone can donate pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters and will be completed when we reach 1 million coins (not dollars). My job is to find a clear container to showcase all of these coins. What I was wondering from you experts is how big of container would I need? I know there are a lot of variables but with some lengthy internet research I would guesstimate 44% pennies, 9% nickels, 14% dimes, 33% quarters. I know the quarters estimate is probably high but the container is better too big than too small. These coins will be dumped in randomly - not stacked. I'm thinking the container needs to be around 20 cubic feet - 2ft tall x 2ft wide x 5ft tall. The approximate weight of the coins would be between 4-5 tons. These are all guesstimates. I would hate to have this thing built and be 200000 coins capacity too small. Questions?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
