Wow! There were A LOT of guesses in regards to just how much $$ is in our big water jug at home.
I printed out all of the guesses from both our GMG page and the Facebook page on Wednesday after the “deadline.” There were almost exactly 200 guesses in all.
So far we’ve emptied the jug and sorted the coins into buckets of quarters, dimes, nickels, pennies, and a pile of bills.
I’ve completely abandoned the idea of actually rolling the coins because it took hours alone to simply just sort them. The boys were a huge help and had a lot of fun. From here, we’ll take the 4 buckets to the change machine at the two banks we use in town. Watch out, Cape Ann Savings Bank in Rockport and TD Bank at Harbor Loop!
So, here’s what I know so far…. there were $62 in one dollar bills and a total of $1,246 in quarters (that’s 4,984 quarters in all).
That makes the total so far $1,308.00…..before adding the dimes, nickels, and pennies. So, if your guess was less than that…or super close to it, you weren’t right. Sorry.
If you’re still in the running, start thinking about the charity of your choice. Stay tuned for the final tally. Probably Monday morning’s 9:00 post.
Good Morning Gloucester 
Ohhhhh NO ;(. My guess was $1,306! My winnings were going to Donna and her clean up crew for gear, gloves, shovels or DONUTS ~ her choice. Think I’ll send a check anyway. Nice post Nichole ~

Wouldn’t it be great if this somehow led to that exact same feeling….. of writing checks to those charities anyway!!! You never know! Thanks, Mary!

Charity of your choosing is what I would have told you if I ever got close, as your the one who did all the work! Throw out your back just picking it up:-) Dave & Kim 🙂
Best of luck to the winners!
“Penny, as the machine is called, can count 3,500 coins a minute! :-O
