Probably aroun $30000.00, cause most of them don't ever have anything in them. The ones that do never have more than three cents.

$1.19 made up of \n4 pennies\n4 dimes \n1 quarter \n1 half dollar\n\ndarn that was a tough one i thought it was 94 at first then when i saw you said it wasnt i re thought it i came up with .99 almost immediately but then i saw you say it was between $1 and $1.50 so that got me thinking again. once i looked againat how i came up with the .99 getting the extra 20 cents was easy\n\ni'm not surprised i got it though I could join mensa i have a 145 I.Q.  it's good to know somone can still put me through my paces  \n\nthanx again for the mental gymnastics\n\ngot anything else???

If he had NO quarters, then he would have 18 dimes and 22 nickels, worth $2.90.  Every time you replace 1 nickel and 1 dime with 2 quarters, it keeps the coin count right, and the extra nickels right, while the value goes up by (2 * 25 - 10 - 5) = 35 cents.  But to get from $2.90 to $4.05, the total value needs to go up by $1.15 which is NOT an even multiple of $0.35, so there is no solutuion in whole numbers.  One of the figures in the question must be wrong.

Yeah, I mean, it all spends the same, right?  LOL. Yeah, I pick up change off of the ground. I work retail so when I find change lying around the store I pick it up and put it on the registers.  People are always coming up a few cents short or looking for exact change. Anything in dollar form though I have to turn in.  LOL.

A penny with a hole in it is worthless because you can't spend it, so it is hopeless - there's no help for it since you obviously can't fix the hole in the penny. That's what it means. I don't know the origin though - sorry! Will look it up first and I'll get back to you if I find it.

I always pick up any money I see lying around.  I don't little kids picking it up and washing it off in the mouth like I use to do.  LOL  I always had to see how shiny I could make it.  so, my answer is a penny.

Glenn Beck had a funny commentary on the penny.\n\nHe said you know it's time to get rid of the penny, when you can have a bowl of pennies with a sign next to them saying "TAKE ONE" sitting by the register in the most robbed convience store in the roughest neighborhood in Harlem, and no one touches any.

I usually go answer Tech questions, but this was too much to resist :)\n\nThis to me, depends on the quality of the money, if I see a shiny penny, I would pick it up, though I wouldnt get close to it if it was covered with gum, mud, etc, all depends on condition. \n\nAs for anything larger than a penny, I honestly dont care about the condition unless it was really disgusting, cigarette ash, gum, poop, none of that stuff and i'll take it :)\n\nFor bills, my eye that looks for cleaniness goes blind and I dont care what condition it is in, its money! In fact, I once picked up a McDonalds coupon good for a Big Mac half off with purchase of a Big Mac. Since it says "No actual cash value", I guess I picked up things that are worthless as well :)

Well you got a quarter and a nickel.  Because one of the coins is not a nickel, it is a quarter.  So the other one is a nickel.  Hehehe.... Good one.

It sounds similar to when we used to pick up pennies on the street.....now you can have ten lying around and we pass them by.\nI just scratched a ticket too and won a free draw worth $10.  \nI plan to get that new ticket just as soon as I remember to tuck it into my purse.....lol

Need to know what country it is from, and the condition.\nIn the United States, for example, there were 3 areas that made the 1913 penny.  In Canada, maybe 2 (not sure).  Also Great Britain.  \n\nIf it were a US coin, the BOOK Value would likely be anywhere between 65 cents and $33 (dollars)  depending upon \n1) where made in US  (Look for a small letter under date) \n2) condition\n\nBefore giving a value, MUST  know what country.\n\nIn Large libraries (Ususally MAIN  library)  they MAY  have a very thick directory, which has pictures of the common insignias on most major countries' coins, so  yuo could at least START  there.\n\nForeign coins are harder to sell, and ALL have a DEALER value of 1/3 to 1/10th (or less) the value stated in any coin directory.

Its not a percentage from the banks, I think its when I got out in the parking lot and pick up the pennies people throw out their windows,  fifteen minutes of rolling pennies and I have eight bucks to spend at the dive bar next door. I EARNED IT FOR CRYIN OUT LOUD I had to bend over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SO yeah, I saved the pennies from gettin run over and flattened, and I earned a cheap drunk!

um...i found a $100 Bill on the ground of a Gas Station. i put my foot over it and looked around to see if anyone was looking and bent down and grabbed it and rushed back to my car and sped away....it was desperatly needed to pay bills...i wish i could find more of them. and no, i dont feel the least bit guilty in keeping it....sometimes you have to accept the things that come your way and never take them for granted.

Write them as a ratio of integers (cents) first:\n1250 / 875\n\nRemove a common factor of 5 from top and bottom:\n250 / 175\n\nRepeat for another 5:\n50 / 35\n\nOops, we can do it again:\n10 / 7\n\n(Note: this is equivalent to 1.428571... in decimal, so the previous answer was right about this, but the problem asked to do it as a ratio of whole numbers.)\n\nSo the ratio of the prices is 10 / 7.

We're now working on the principle of "credits" or "points". You trade me so many points, I keep your lights on. Pretty soon we won't use cash and won't need credit cards... our financial history and information will be linked to our thumbprints (of course, we must fight against this!!) so you'll just give you thumbprint and walk out of the grocery store or pay your electric or whatever. \n\nTechnically, there are not enough bills or coins in the US to cover all the monies we use daily.
