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

[ QUOTE ]
25396 total grams = 56 pounds

penny = 2.5 grams
nickel = 5.0 grams
dime = 2.268 grams
quarter = 5.670 grams

10000 grams of pennies = 4000 pennies = $40.00
3000 grams of nickels = 600 nickels = $30.00
3000 grams of dimes = 1322 dimes = $132.20
9396 grams of quarters = 1657 quarters = $414.28

TOTAL = $616.48

Minus 8.9% fee = $566.09

i did a very similar analysis and came up with $558.27. that is my guess.

also, you are a fool for giving away this method ahead of time.
