How Many Pennies?
I have suddenly been inspired to get up, get dressed, and take my jug of pennies over to the coin counting machine at the supermarket, and let it count them, so I can trade them in for paper money. I am guessing, from looking at the penny pile, that there is between ten and twelve dollars there. But I could easily be way off in either direction. Take a look for yourself:
So tell me, how much money in pennies do YOU think there is? Whoever comes in closest to the actual amount wins the smug satisfaction of being right. You can leave your guess as a comment to this post. I'll announce the correct amount in a few days!
UPDATE: A winner is Announced!! Congratulations to Russ! I already knew he was remarkable fellow, as he won over the heart of my dear friend MaLu. Now I know he is an excellent penny guesser as well, and he has won this contest, with the closest guess. So... how many pennies were there? There were 1,364 pennies in the jar. Thanks for playing, everyone!

OK, I'll make the first guess, of $11.42 (though I hope it's more!)
Mine is $11.11 and Russ says $13.42
Mattie says, $12.66; Orlando says $10.99, Tybalt guesses $11.31; Tanis say $8.79; Lil' Red guesses $9.00 and Neko guesses $8.97.
I hope we win!
$89.99
but thats just a guess.
My guess is $7.32. Happy County...
$8. Stumbled because we use money everyday and are giving such a great variance in our guesses! Good one, Jaya!
I was never any good at those 'guess how many' tests. But I'm sure Henry has the right answer.
Cheers
Hmmm, let me see here. Counting is hard. I will guess $5.93.
My guess is $9.17. Thanks for a fun little contest.
Well, I think there's $7.14 in the jug......that's my lucky 3 numbers and I'll try them here.
And my brother Richard, who apparently has yet to master the art of leaving comments here on the blog, has sent me an e-mail message saying:
"I think that you will find that you have $4.83 in the penny jar."
I'll have to go with 6.66
$9.78; $10.42; $8.98; $9.23; $9.50; $10.32...
$2.22....I don't knooooowwwww....I never win these things!!!!! And just don't SAY ANYTHING, Okay?! Cuz I know what you'd say and I just don't want to hear it.
I think..
there are 300 pennies in it.
So that will make....dollar
Fill in on the dots
Mustafa is cheating...no smug satifaction for Mustafa!
Congratulations to Russ, of Whittier, California.
He is our WINNER, with a guess just 22 cents
off from the actual count of 1,364 pennies.
Well done, Russ!
Oh, I'm gonna go wake him up! He's gonna be stoked! Yay! He deserves to win something cuz he worked hard all day and loves us all so well. (He's keeping our spots warm, Jaya, so snuggle up!)
Hee!
Don't know how many pennies, but Henry is so cute!
