If you divide the volume of the container by the volume of a penny, you get 52,575 pennies, or $525.75. Obviously this is a high estimate considering there will be significant empty space between coins.

I think the best way to estimate this without using thousands of coins would be to scale it down. Measure how many pennies it takes to fill up one cup and multiply that by 80 (16 cups in a gallon times 5 gallons). It still won't be perfect, but much more accurate than 52,575.
