I am afraid @CharleneTX beat you to the punch on $624, regardless!
Good catch!
I will have to lock it in at $624 for both as that was the official guess each stated. @CharleneTX - will win if that guess is the most accurate due to submitting it first.
Reminder - Everyone has the chance to scroll up, if desired, before guessing AND submitting via DM for a “secure” guess!
GL everyone!!
$738.12 official guess
(I don’t like stepping on other people’s numbers…though $624 sounds right, and $642 is too close to it.)
Fun game. $493
So entertaining! I’m going with $573!
My guess is $283. I just took some change to the bank yesterday.
Oops! No problem. My bad for not looking closely before guessing. Good luck everyone!
$383.
Going with the engine displacement of our Chevelle. How’s that for scientific?
Just got back from depositing it all at the bank!! I have the official final amount!! I’ll check-in over the weekend, Contest end this Sunday at Midnight (Central- US)
I’ll post pics and announce the winner when I get to work Monday. (7am - 8am depending on if I have anything urgent when I get there)
Good Luck!!
Can you at least tell us a hint? Like how far off the farthest person is off?
Did they charge you for counting it? Was the final count different from yours? I’m curious how banks take to this kind of thing.
Also I’m convinced that the number and types of emojis is a hint…
I think there are a few really smart people here that could figure out about how much it might be if i gave a number range (or at least have a decent estimate)
Maybe that low guess is close or maybe everyone is totally wrong! Can’t wait to tell everyone!
There was no fee to deposit the money. The requirements were that I had to roll it all up myself. The bank did give me all the paper coin rolls for free. I had to put my name on every roll as a deterrent to prevent people from cheating the bank. (No putting enough in the rolls or pennies inthe roll marked dimes)
I printed out small labels for file folders with my name to speed up the process.
Yes! My total was off by almost $100… I must have counted the number of rolls of a specific domination improperly. (Not saying if it’s too many or few rolls counted! )
Wait.
All week you thought you knew what the correct total was while all the guesses came in?
I always had planned on taking it to the bank to verify! That’s why I made the deadline Sunday. I knew I couldn’t get to the bank until this weekend.
Banks don’t charge you for counting it (but it has to be rolled) - if you have unrolled coinage, you can visit those Coinstar machines and just dump it in. They charge a few, unless you donate to charity…but you can also just have the money put on an amazon gift card or something from those machines!
I’ve always just used Coinstar since it’s not worth my time to roll it myself. But I do always feel a little resentful that they charge me for it. I’ve only had to do this like 3 times in my entire life though.
several of the banks we use have coin counting machines in the branch and there’s no fee for using it if you’re a member/customer.
Same!
