    Hi Ballerina,

    If it is one of those tins with you open with a tin opener (same size as tin of baked beans) my guesstimate would be £60.

    I used to have one and when filled with £1s it took £200 so as 20ps are about the same size but slightly thinner I would say it would hold about 300 coins which is £60.

    This is like one of them games where you have to guess how many items are in a jar hehe! I loved them games at fairs, never won though lol.

    I would guess at £70
  • Its bigger than a normal tin more like one of those large dog food size tins!

    I got if from the pound shop, I think it will def hold more than £60.00....I will let you know when I open it!

    Ahhh I have just bought one which I am putting all the 1p, 2p and 5p in. Why not weigh the tin before you put anything in and then just keep weighing it every so often so you know how much is in there.
