Like many people, I have a bucket that I lob loose change into on a daily basis. I pretty much chuck anything 20p and lower in there at the end of each day. Still, it's taken over four years to fill it (I know this because that's how long I've lived in this house, I haven't been keeping count!). Since it was just about full (and bloody heavy) I decided to count it all up. Well, I didn't count all of it - all the copper got deposited in the counting machine that gives out vouchers at Sainsbury's.

Now the question is, looking at the pictures below, how much do you reckon is there? Closest wins a cookie Wink

I had to empty out my change pot to afford my NTV, on the morning I went to pic it up Mr. Green stuck it in the machine and it came up £10 short on what I needed, cos some coins got rejected the first time.

Im gonna go with £76.32, looks like its mostly coppers
