I normally wait until the thing is full before counting it up, but I am doing so early this time, so I can make my next payment on a credit card my last one. :)

It's a one gallon apple cider jug, just for reference.

Heck, if someone guesses the exact amount, I will PayPal some to you once it is deposited. :p

It has covered the gamut. I think the most I ever got was $800.00+, but there were fewer than average pennies in it that time.

This is my personal jar. I occasionally dump the $1.00 bills into it if they were in my pocket with the change rather than in my wallet. There are only a couple in there that I can see, though.

$160-$180. I fill up something similar in size and I generally get close to $200. It also depends on how often you use change. If its remnants of breaking a dollar, than it will be much higher as it will be mostly silver. But if you actively use change, it will contain a lot more pennies.

About the only time I use change is to give the cashier a penny, so I can get a dollar, quarter, dime, or nickel instead of more pennies. :p

Just go to your bank. Mine counts it for free on the super high speed industrial coin counter.
