ON paid out in Pennies

[sincitymix]

For all of you inquiring minds, my ON rate converts to 826 lbs. of pennies. What you shall do with this information, I’m unsure.. but there you go!

Pay you with quite a few ingot bars of copper:)

Interestingly, a dime, a quarter and a fifty cent piece all have the same value per gram (presumably dating back to the silver standard).

 

So if you had a bag full of just these three denominations, you could tell its value by its weight, regardless of the mix.

Hrm....Assuming my digital scale isn't mis-calibrated, that's not entirely accurate.

 

According to my digital scale:

 

Dime weighs 2 grams (5 cents per gram)

Quarter weighs 6 grams (4.1666 cents per gram)

half-dollar coin weighs 11 grams. (4.5454 cents per gram)

I just used the coin specifications put out by the US Mint.

Well, the measurements there are more precise (going a few decimal places in) than the scale I used. I'll trust someone had done math (without double-checking it myself).

 

Considering it's Margarita o'clock, I probably shouldn't be doing much math right now, anyway.
