Anyone else drop spare change in a 5 gallon water jug? Mine is about 90% full right now and I am waiting for it to get full before I count it. Any guesses on the $$$ amount? 
Update: finally got full and the total was.... $ 2,112.60

I just did my sons jug. It was only about 1/4 to 1/5 full. Came out to $217.00 exactly. He also had 4 chuckee cheese tokens and some canadian currency.

There is no way of knowing the ratio of the coins in the jug.

I do...I usually empty my pockets of any change and/or $1 dollar bills and then put any change I find around the house in mine and just fill it up, use it as a sort of "vacation fund"
as others have said, it depends on how many pennies and nickels to dimes and quarters

Coinstar gets 8%.

I do. I've never filled it bc my kids raid it when the ice cream man comes by, but I have heard that you can expect it to be $6k for one of these:

my grandparents do this...the last jug they emptied was enough to pay for a cruise in Alaska if memory serves me correct. I have a smaller one that has a lid on it that counts money as you drop it in...just covering the bottom layer (so not plastic was visible) was almost $50...but it's easy to manipulate the counter apparently as that count went from $50 up to around $1200 just rolling around in my backseat during a move.

All kinds of change or just pennies? Probably >$1000. My daughter's school did a coin-drop competition last year, and I think each almost full jar was over $1000, and that had a lot of pennies and small change, not quarters.

I had one last year that was mostly silver and and about 2/3 of the way full. When I took it to the bank they put it all in their counting machine and handed me $1800.

i had $385 in a gallon milk jog. hard to tell w/ the variations in change (pennies vs quarters). you should expect somewhere around 2K
