Ni!
Come on and tell us! Some of us have been sitting by our computers all day long refreshing this thread every few seconds to find out.
OK, I won’t spoiler this because there wasn’t enough interest.
I turned in a total of $1015.52. The breakdown is:
1 dollar coin
1 half dollar coin
1753 quarters
3976 dimes
2411 nickels
5762 pennies
13904 total coins, excluding those that couldn’t be read by Coinstar. That included a lot of foreign coins and damaged coins.
So the two closest are:
Omniscient: $19.79 high (though I didn’t turn in all of my quarters, as I have wash to do)
tdn: $37.25 low
I guess that Omniscient’s name is well deserved.
edit to add: I did this in two waves. The first was just over $300. I was kind of curious if the machine could hold all of the coins, but it handled the remaining $700 fine. The Amazon certificates are limited to between $5 and $1000, so the total would have been just over the limit for that.
Sorry I missed:
mkecane: $27.87 low
Well done you! You can do a lot w/ that now that you have it all in one ‘currency’, so to speak. For example, Amazon’s Subscribe and Save prices are about par w/ our local grocery prices and they give you free shipping. Saves you a trip, that’s hard to beat.
Dang, I was going to guess $867.5309!
By the way, I’ve found that a coffee can filled to the rim with coins, in their normal distribution from receiving change - with nothing taken out for laundry - will come to about $105. I’ve used this finding to win the “Guess Your Total” challenge that some coin machines have.
Crap, my guess would have been $1013.00.
Not bad.
My bank won’t take rolled coins. I show up with a sack of coins, they count them for me and offer to pay me in paper currency or deposit the amount to my account.
Oh yeah, all free of charge.
