dandaman Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 (Now I'm thinknig I guessed too low... drats!) Well, it's too late now... so, whad'ya guess?
ncf Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 I guessed $165, I actually 'more than just guessed'
robinschroder Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 When you say you 'more than just guessed', I wonder if you also used this: http://www.usmint.gov/about_the_mint/index.cfm?flash=yes&action=coin_specifications and some Maths! I definitely think the final answer lies somewhere between $140 and $170! All the best, Robin

I definitely think the final answer lies somewhere between $140 and $170! All the best, Robin Yup, first I guessed how many percent there are of each type of coin, then I found out their weight and then I let my dad figure out how many of each coin there is in the bottle...
Slacking Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 (Now I'm thinknig I guessed too low... drats!) Well, it's too late now... so, whad'ya guess? I think it was like $138.something cents

coasterdude5 Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Wow, I never would have guessed that much!!
cfc Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Hmm--so much for my attempt of guessing by weight based on my old change basket. But this could be a good benchmark for the lunch box game in the UK forum.
