How much does money weigh?

lil_me

From April onwards, my partner gets lots of change at work so I just put in whatever I had left each week. I usually do one for holidays then one for Christmas after the holidays one is full. £600 I think was in the holidays one.

Scary bit is when we moved house just before I opened it and when we were moving stuff I left it outside by accident for about 12 hours! It was on top of a box for the shed so I'd left it just sat next to the front door :rotfl: now that would have been horrible if it'd gone missing.

Possibly - but if it had gone missing, you wouldnt have known how much was in it to miss

That's what I said when my partner shouted 'Was that the tin from under the bed that you left outside all day' :rotfl: he still wasn't happy with me.

1p and 2p coins weigh £1.28 per lb. (doesn't work out so easily in grams, I guess because the coins haven't really changed since before we generally used metric weights and measures)

All other coins using metric weights (equivalent values are what it takes to fill those little plastic money bags to take to the bank!):
5p/10p - 325g = £5.00

20p - 250g = £10.00

50p - 160g = £10.00

£1 - 190g = £20.00

£2 - 120g = £20.00

Obviously this will only help if you know what is in your tin! But maybe someone will find it useful LOL

You could join the sealed jar challenge!!

We are all saving in a sealed container until 1st December 2008 towards Christmas

Come and look at the thread and see if you want to play too:rotfl:

Hi There

This is going to be very useful for me with a solicitors claim I am currently in the middle of, can I ask you what your source is for these figures please?
