Save the Whale

[balthazar]

This is my 'Save The Buick' jar.

All the money I've put toward my '59 to date (and it's a lot) has been side money, or non paycheck money.... except for dimes. 2nd largest coin denomination (who regularly sees half- or whole dollar coins?), and not as 'in demand' around here as quarters. I found this Ball mason jar in the woods behind my house, and it had character (chipped mouth, what looks like a BB hole in one side). I've emptied it numerous times, so I know about how much it holds.... but anyone wanna make a guess how much is in here?

Just shy of $300.

No more than $70. Roll of dimes is $5, and you're not getting more than 14 rolls of dimes in a mason jar.

[Camino LS6]

Ah, misunderstood the post and thought that the jar contained quarters as well.

I retract my guess.

Ahh, but rolls would create dead space between them, where dimes would not slither...

Just back from cashing the jar out- any one else care to guess?

Nope- there's no prize for getting closest.

My guess is approx. $150-175 I have a mason jar of that size for my Z-06 fund and I save that much.Granted I save pennies too.

I guess that means I win.

Imagine that.

Leave it to me to win when nothing is at stake.
