Guess how much 56 pounds of change is worth and win 2% (coinstar)

[A_C_Slater]

In a totally random mix of Quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies.

Can anyone guess how much I made?

I will share 2% with whoever guesses closest. (transfer via pokerstars only.) I will announce the winner 24 hours from now.

Coinstar deducts 8.9% for couting fee.

Its obvious that it is $674.60, and after coinstar took $60.04, you ended up getting $614.56

I will be expecting my $12.29 soon.

I already guessed, and won't be re-guessing.

[Cubswin]

have you tried calling your bank? if they dont have a machine ask if another branch does. if that doesnt work, let me know what city you live in and ill find you a bank that has a coin counting machine. it just pains me to see you lose 8.9%.

A few coins were filtered out. Random Canadian garbage money. Some old pennies from the 20's the machine didn't seem to recognize. Chuck-E-Cheese tokens and random video game coins with no cash value, even a South American dime, I think it was Brazilian ( yet I've never been there.)

You may have to adjust your guesstimates based on these aberrations.

[ClaytonN]

Doing some rough math, it's going to be close to around $847

[felson]

$639.62

[Homer]

I'll assume you have the same amount of pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. The average weight of these coins is 3.8595 grams, with an average value of 10.25 cents. 3.8595 grams is 0.0085 pounds. If you have 56 pounds of coins, you have 6581 coins. 6581 coins * .1025 $/coin = $674.60. So, there's my guess:

$674.60 before fees

I think it might actually be lower, because it'll probably be like 50% pennies instead of 25%, but I'll stick with this guess.

most banks offer this service for free, you may have to have an account though

someone has probably said this though


my fish bowl became full a few weeks ago and i took it in and it had about 75 bucks in it and its not big at all

so im guessing about 260 bucks, counting the fee


cheers


edit: thought it said 46 pounds

[WackityWhiz]

25396 total grams = 56 pounds

penny = 2.5 grams

Many of these answers are impossible, since even 56 pounds of all quarters, or all dimes, would result in fewer than $1200.

Assumptions:
- These coins are leftovers from purchases
- The cents-part of total purchase prices are random

Then any random collection of coins should be apportioned thusly:
Pennies: 42.55% (Rp)
Nickles: 8.51% (Rn)
Dimes: 17.21% (Rd)
Quarters: 31.91% (Rq)

------------------

Given that 56 pounds is 25,401.17 grams and the weights of coins are:
Penny: 2.5g (Wp)
Nickle: 5g (Wn)
Dime: 2.268g (Wd)
Quarter: 5.6g (Wq)

Then the total number of coins should be (T):
P + N + D + Q = T
P = T(Rp)
N = T(Rn)
D = T(Rd)
Q = T(Rq)

T(Rp)(Wp) + T(Rn)(Wn) + T(Rd)(Wd) + T(Rq)(Wq) = 25,401.17
Solve for T = (about)6,935 coins

P = 2951 pennies
N = 590 nickles
D = 1180 dimes
Q = 2213 quarters

Total value: $730.41
Total after 8.9% rake (no maximum): $665.30

I didn't check to see if anyone else already guessed this amount.

This is how I did it as well, but I assumed half dollars as well. Where did you get your random distribution? I used the number of coins in circulation and mine was much different.

[AndysDaddy]

I didn't count halves or dollar coins, as one almost never gets these back as change. Except, of course, when one spends a considerable portion of one's time in a casino. Hmmmm...

I based my proportions on my second assumption:
- The cents-part of total purchase prices are random

By which I mean that the pennies amount for the thing(s) you are buying are randomly distrubuted between 00 and 99, resulting in random change per transaction of 99 - 01 (I discard 00 as an uninteresting case). I also used an unspecified assumption that such change would be given in the most coin-efficient manner possible. So 99 cents in change results in 3 quarters, two dimes and four pennies. Adding up all the possible change distributions and dividing each coin amount by the total gives my amounts.

Your method of using number of coins in circulation is an interesting variance I hadn't thought of. I assume you got your figures from some tresuary web page? I can think of a few reasons why circulation numbers wouldn't match with what a person puts into a coins-to-be-exchanged-for-dollars jar, but then I can think of several reasons why my method would be inaccurate, too.

Good luck!

Yea. That's what I did. Data from the Treasury page. I know what you mean. People probably keep out quarters or whatever for various reasons (parking meters, laundry, etc).

[felson]

Nice. I thought about that approach too, but was too lazy. Since we're talking about ways to estimate it, my method was to take the first 30 or so guesses (except for the $1 or $2 guesses) and average them, since there's research (http://tinyurl.com/cexfp) saying that this approach works well. It'd be better to wait until the end, of course, and get more samples, but again I was too lazy. My guess (posted earlier), not too far from yours, was $639.62.

But... since you're giving out 2% instead of some other random amount, I'm going to guess that 2% comes out to somewhere around $10.

Uhm, someone's probably already guessed $500, so I'll guess $536.65.

ship it!

You are lucky winner.

dtbog wins $10.67

The exact total was $533.33


What is scary is that the first reply to this thread was by thinman and he guessed $534 which was only 66 cents off. But then he went back and edited it for some reason.

Always go with your gut.

I know, but I said he edited it. For some reason it doesn't have the edited by stuff. But I know it said 534 at first because I remember my shock upon seeing it.

Is there a way to get rid of the "edited by" stuff in italics when editing that I don't know about?

Either way, I look at it, I am incredibly brilliant.

That's probably all quarters. I did 14 pounds of each and came up with about $800

Scary thing is I did a little math, and it looks like several people did the same exact calculation. Damn.
