    Question How many coins and how much cash have I got here?

    I figured after 3 years of it being full to bursting, I'd empty my loose change bottle.





    The bottle contains 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p and 20p pieces only.


    The bottle is 48cm (19") high and has a 4.5 litre capacity.


    The combined weight of the bottle + coins is 21Kg.


    Over the next 2 weekends I'll be emptying the bottle, using an automatic coin-sorter to count and sort the coinage.


    So, how many coins will I find in there, and what will the total value be?

    Some more pics:

    My guess will probably be miles out.

    I'll go for £50.

    4.5 litres.. the bottle is massive. I'll go for about 180 as it looks like a lot of silvers are in there

    I had a bells one which I emptied not long ago. My bottle was 3/4's full with 90% of it being 1p, 2p and 5p. I managed to get just over £125.

    There looks to be a fair bit of silver in there so I reckon £250
    Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.
