My father and I sort out a 5 feather water into the jar full of money worth more than 10 years of savings in 2 days and there is a pyramid. It all equates to $2,349.50

Damn.
What are you going to buy?
The last time I took rolled change to a bank they wouldnt take it. They told me I needed to use the Coin Star machine, which takes an 8-10% fee. I was appoplectic, so I went to my local credit union and they told me the same thing.
So, from my experience, the value of a person’s change appears to be 8-10% less than the face value.

wow. congratulations. that’s amazing.
Just imagine the piggy bank you could buy with that!
Nice. My dad has been rolling his change for almost 40 years now. He keeps a ledger of his totals as he rolls them. He’s up to almost $15k.
Did you make sure to sort out any silver dimes and quarters?
10 years. 0% interest.
I wanna be that dick that goes to the bank with 2,000 dollars in coins
I’m thinking of doing the same with quarters and dimes only though.
My God! Someone throw in 50 cents!!
Some of the coins are probably worth way more than their face value by now.
No dimes?
A few years back I did some math on which coins have more value based on their size (volume).
If your goal is to fill up a jar and get the absolute maximum value, quarters are your best bet. Surprisingly, dollar coins take up more space than they’re worth in comparison to quarters.
wont your bank do this for free?
All I can think of is the 3% inflation rate and how much you lost over 10 years.
More of a triangle than a pyramid.
That’s a sturdy table you have there.
Banks have machines that count coins, you just pour all the mixed coins into the hopper and it sorts and counts them all in a few seconds. It doesn’t wrap them automatically, but they let you deposit it right away.
I got some fresh 80s dimes in these packets
Thats about 200 rolls of pennies, so about 10,000 pennies.
Since generally you’ll only get three or fewer pennies per transaction as change, that pile of coins represents at a minimum roughly 3300 cash transactions.
Nice!
If I’d done that in England, most of it would be fucking worthless by the time I counted it.
Aww, you guys don’t have black and purple coin rolls. How sad.
People ask me why I bend over to pick up change… This is why.
Cool, enough money to replace that desk
Rich Dad Rich Kid!
Remember if you can’t lift that all at once, it’s a legit reason to wheelbarrow it into the bank.
I hope you took the time to look for valuable coins.. I am willing to bet you have a few hundred extra you could get out of that pile.
My father used to collect coins like that, and regularly he would be robbed. There is nothing like baiting people.
Less than 1 cent per day, on average.
I usually try to [save my $1 bills](https://i.imgur.com/KQ2Ku3i.jpg) through out the year (2013 example here) and then use that money for emergencies / Black Friday / Cyber Monday / X-Mas.
Went to the bank, the teller asked me where I got all those one’s. She tried to keep a straight face as I told her that those were tips from my exotic dancing gig as I was jiggling my middle aged Haggen Daz coffee ice cream gut.
The tellers on either side of her just lost it. I then told her the truth, I don’t spend the ones I get in change through out the year.
Adjusted for inflation…aaaaaaaaaaand…it’s gone.
Nice stickers…I bought the same pack from ebay and used them to cover my very own table haha. I got this weird sense of deja vu
10 years… How many people were contributing?
It’s just, that’s only ~64¢/day. Maybe it’s because I’m a bartender & deal mostly with cash, but that seems a bit light for a decade.
