How much does a five gallon water jug filled with change weigh?

Answer 1

There's no specific answer because coins are different sizes and weights.

For example, large dollar coins will not pack as tightly as small dimes, so there will be a lot more air spaces in between.

Also, the same size coin may have different weights depending on its date - cents minted before 1982 weigh about 25% more than newer pennies because they're made of different metals. So, even though the same number of old pennies or new pennies will fit in the jug, filling it with old coins will make it heavier than if it were filled with new ones.

Answer 2

Assuming that the jug contains water, the jug would weigh 41.7 pounds or 18.9 kilograms.
