$296,000 Dollars in Coins too heavy for a big truck?
In article , Arizona Coin Collector wrote: Hello On the story below. I would love to know how much weight all these coins added up to. $296,000 Dollars in Coins. $296,000 dollars in quarters, dimes, or half-dollars would weigh 6.7 metric tonnes, or 7.4 short tons. More if the mix included pennies or nickels, less if it included dollar coins. And $296,000 in just pennies would weigh 74 metric tonnes, or 81.6 short tons. Yeah, I know, mass is not the same as weight. I'm too tired to be pedantic right now. -- Please reply to: | President Bush is promoting Peace and Democracy pciszek at panix dot com | in the Middle East by selling Weapons to the Autoreply is disabled | King of Saudi Arabia. |
