<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mjames91966, post: 820052, member: 22740&quot;]Ok well here goes, 1968 S mint with a total number of 261,311,507. figuring that approx. 145 pennies make a pound. it would be 1,802,148 total lbs. To move all that weight it would take 29 tractor trailers figuring they were all 53 foot trailers. The max for a tractor trailer is 80,00 lbs gross so the total weight just for any cargo is about 62,000 lbs. A 53&quot; trailer can hold 26 4+4 pallets,so considering that, there would be 754 pallets weighing 1,358 lbs per pallet. You would need a 30,000 square foot warehouse to store them all in.&nbsp; I wasnt sure if S mint coins were for circulation due to my lack of knowledge with coins so I also looked for the lowest total number out of the other 2 mints. 1960 P had a total mintage of 588,096,602. Again figuring that the total weight would be 4,055,838 lbs. You would need 65 tractor trailers. there would be a total of 1,690 pallets weighing 2,384 lbs. per pallet. That many 4+4 pallets would require a 67,000 square foot warehouse. </p><p>Ok now my brain hurts, thanks for the contest[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
