How much space do you need to collect one million pennies?

Answer 1

The volume of one million pennies is about the same as a refrigerator (see related links below).

One million pennies weighs about 6,000 pounds.

You can fit about 3,000 pennies in a 2-liter bottle. It would weight about 15 pounds, and it would be valued at $30.00. You would need 333 bottles to hold 1 million pennies.

You can fit about 6,000 pennies in a 1-gallonmilk jug. It would weight about 30 pounds, and it would be valued at $60.00. You would need 167 gallon jugs to hold 1 million pennies.

You can fit about 30,000 pennies in a 5-gallon bucket. It would weight about 150 pounds, and it would be valued at $300.00. (The bank might only take back about $100 per week, see related link below.) You would need 33 5-gallon buckets to hold 1 million pennies.

Answer 2

Well honey, let me break it down for you. One million pennies would take up about 10 cubic feet of space. So, you better start clearing out that piggy bank or get yourself a big ol' jar if you want to store all those shiny copper coins. Good luck with that!
