To answer this requires only that you find the volume of a quarter coin, and divide the volume of the container by the volume of a quarter. This will give you a very close approximation, since obviously the coins cannot fit into every tiny space within the jug -- there will be some unfilled volume.

Volume of a US quarter = approx. 808.93 mm3 or 0.80893 cm3

Volume of a US gallon = 3785.41178 cm3

Dividing the jug volume by the quarter's volume we get

3785.41178 / 0.80893 = slightly less than 4680 quarters($1170 USD).

One test using a 5-gallon jug provided a ballpark figure of $5200, so an actual experimental value would be closer to 4160 quarters. ($1040 USD)

Estimate By Weight

A quarter is mostly copper, and by weight a gallon of quarter metal (copper and 8.33% zinc) would weigh about 33760 grams, as much as 5950 quarters. This indicates that the quarter takes up some empty space. The weight of 0.808 cm3 of solid metal would be 7.20 grams not the official weight of 5.67 grams.

A gallon is equal to 4 quarts, and each quart is made up of 4 cups. Therefore, a gallon can hold a total of 16 cups. Since there are 4 cups in a quart, a gallon milk jug can hold 4 quarts or 16 quarters.

A gallon milk jug can hold 16 quarters, honey. Since there are 4 quarters in a dollar and a gallon equals 4 quarts, that gives you a total of 16 quarters. So, go ahead and start saving up those coins if you want to fill up that jug!
