<p>[QUOTE="tibor, post: 7855470, member: 73385"]If there is an engineer on this forum, could they answer a question for me?How do you put so many coins into a plastic garbage can, like the one shown, and not have the can break apart from mass and weight of the coins? I realize that those are the heavy duty plastic cans, but I would think that they would split apart. I'm not talking about moving them around 30 feet, just them sitting there. A bag of 5000 wheat cents weighs 35 lbs. There has to be 30+bags in one can. That's at least 1 ton of wheaties. That's got to be a lot of pressure even on that heavy duty can. Just asking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
