Before it gets really bad, I staged an intervention and transferred everything to three big ziploc bags, sorting out various buttons, trinkets, inflator needles, and a 1943 steel penny. Tomorrow we'll be the hosers who tie up the self-service change counting machine at the credit union for an hour.
But before we cash it in, in the spirit of Rob Cockerham's legendary series, we're making guesses on the stash before it's cashed in. The first guess: total weight. My guess was 26 lbs. Nancy's guess was 35 lbs. We weighed it already, but take a look at the photo and make your own guess.
We'll add our guesses for a few more measurements before tomorrow:
- total face value of US coins
- number of non-coin objects (not including cat hair)
- total face value of Canadian coins
- total number of non-North-American coins
