So I'm borrowing this idea that's been posted before. I got bored so I counted the change in our spare change jar. Took me longer to sort it than count it, I think
Anyway, I'll post the answer tomorrow (and I wont add any extra change!) Whoever gets the closest wins 5,000 points

This was the closest guess, off by $22.11


There is $134.27 in there.

$12.27 in pennies (ugh, I counted 1200+ pennies!!)
$9.80 in nickels
$39.20 in dimes
$73.00 in quarters

Oh wow! I can't believe I guessed the closest! My initial guess was actually going to be $135.50 but then decided since the other thread had so much more than it looked like, that I would raise the amount.

So what are you going to do with all of your spoils?

Wow, $135.50 would have been insanely close!

We are still going to add to the jar until it's nearly full (or until we need $134
) before cashing it in. I was surprised at how much money in quarters there was!!
