Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2011 12:08 pmI was just thinking about this exact subject this weekend. My parents gave me a three gallon bottle and I was wondering how much face value this bottle will hold. Haven't done any kind of search yet. Maybe we'll get an answer here

Re: Pennies Per Gallon
Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2011 12:38 pmI get between $250-$280 per 5 gallon bucket.
This equals to $50 - $56 per gallon.
It depends on how much you want to shake the container.
Glass - Not recommended. This is one thing I would not want to clean up if dropped.

Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2011 5:57 pmI think I can offer a definitive answer to this question..
I just weighed my 5 gallon PLASTIC water jug last night...
It weighs almost $200 lbs.... so at 146 * 200 = 29,200 pennies
