By volume per coin: 10,500 dimes, 4,200 quarters or 2,100 half-dollars. By the way, each add up to $1, 050.00, but the reason for that is another question! Pennies will give you about $77.71, nickles add up to $1,313.10. But that amount is a little higher than the actual amount which fills your gallon jug because of: coin wear, shape of the volume you are filling, how dense you can pack it. The average is about 27% less, or $766.50. See: http://home.att.net/~numericana/answer/trivia.htm

There are 16 cups in 1 gallon of milk.
A half gallon jug can hold about $25.00 in pennies. (:
The local trading standards, through the weights and measure people will ensure that a gallon jug actually contains a gallon. They cannot hide behind small print or even calling it a galon jug, for example (never said it was a gallon, did we, officer?).
