How much change fits in a popcorn bucket?

[StitchandPooh'sMom]

I'm getting ready to take my popcorn bucket full of change to the bank. I wonder how much it will be?

Depends.....how large is your popcorn bucket?

I use an old Disney popcorn bucket for pennies only. It holds about $30.

I use a WDW popcorn bucket to collect my change. I believe that the last time I cashed it in at the bank, it was a little over $200

We need to know the size of the bucket! But I'm guessing you'll be pleasantly surprised!

Sorry - more information would have been helpful. It is a standard-sized Disney popcorn bucket.

Grand total - $223.79 in change and $78 in bills. Just about enough to pay for one six-day park hopper!

I cashed in mine last Friday, no pennies just silver. $302.10

I had over 600 pennies in mine (from the coin counter receipt). Lots of space taken up for not a lot of money!

My mom collects pennies in an Ozarka 5 gal bottle. I give her mine. Last time we changed THAT in it was over $300. It took like 10 years to fill, life's too short and that's not near enough reward for the PITA of emptying and transporting over 30,000 pennies.

Personally I won't miss pennies if they decommission them. At least I still have approx 8 more years before I have to haul her copper obsession again.
