hmmm... this is somewhat dependent on quarter and dime density... that could easily be all pennies underneath that top layer. But- extrapolating from the surface coin ratios, and multiplying by the approximate volume that 33 pounds accords, i'd say that you're definitely around the $193.17 mark less the 8.9% Coinstar fees (unless you opted for the Starbucks card route)
8.9% fee, that's outrageous!!! unless you opted for a lifetime supply of starbucks coffee... that's outrageous!!! btw, my bank (BECU) has free coinstar machines in the lobby. -mel
based on the official US mint coin weights (http://www.usmint.gov/faqs/circulating_coins/index.cfm?flash=yes&action=faq_circulating_coin), if you truly had 33 lbs, it should be about $398, though that certainly sounds high.
btw, thanks for the cheesy-cool video poetry. awesome. :)
on recalculating (based on the likelihood of 67% quarter removal for laundry), i've dropped my average coin value from $0.1025 (even coin distribution) to $0.060625 (based on an $0.0825 value assigned to quarters, roughly 33% of its actual value.
thus, with 33lbs = 15,000 grams, and the average coin weight coming out to roughly 3.8595 grams, the total value is now $235.62!
actually, i just cheated and called ryan, but this calculation, while imperfect, has some grounds for logic and is pretty close i think.
