Hi all,

My apologies if this question has already been answered ... I'm kinda new on this great forum.

I know, from the experts on the 'penny bullion' area, that a 5 gallon bucket of pennies holds 'approximately' $300.00 worth of cents (face value).

Could the 'nickle' experts please give me a 'ballpark estimate' of the face value amount of a 5 gallon bucket of US nickles?

Thanks very much and 'no' if I get one filled I won't be able to move it by myself, being the total wimp that I am

A $100 box of nickels occupies about the same volume as a $25 box of pennies. My back-of-the envelope calculation says that a 5 gallon bucket of nickels would have about $1200 in it.

I see someone else has read the article "The Case for Hoarding Nickels."

It is tempting. If you have money in the bank, it makes just much sense to have it in nickels.

I've only collected about a quart so far.
