I have been saving my normal pocket change for about the last 7 years and the 5 gallon jug is full.
It is probably heavier than me. Any thoughts on how much is in there. Thanks.

Between $2700 and $3100, but it doesn't matter because it's too heavy to take to the bank.
Probably $2000-2500. If i had to guess exactly I would say $2375.11

Thanks I was thinking about $500.00. Not sure on how I will cash it in.
If you want full value you will need to roll the money into bank sleeves. You would need to buy a coin sorter and coin wrappers.

Otherwise, you will have to take the money to coin exchange machines --many grocery stores have them-- and let the machine vendor take a cut.
Call your bank branch and ask them first. I rolled up about 200 dollars worth of change about 10 years ago and took it in. It was not my normal branch. I had brought change in rolled up to another branch of the same bank chain a couple of times prior to that over the years. I think my normal branch wasn't open Saturday or something dumb like that. They told me they needed it to be loose so they could pour it all through a machine. I had to go back out in to the parking lot and bust open all the rolls. Not to mention the time that it took to roll it all up in the first place. I haven't thought about it in a while, but I got a serious attitude with the teller. I was pretty pissed. If that had happened with ten times (or whatever) the change, I might have gone to jail or something.
...or go to the nearest metro area, walk around, wait to be asked for change and blow their friggin' mind. You'd probably make the six o'clock news or something.

My father used to take in rolls of coins and get them exchanged for cash or more rolls. He was a coin collector and searched the rolls for older coins and swapped them for more current vintage coins. If the coins were not rolled the bank refused to accept them.

My credit union has a machine and no charge for using it. Spits out the total and I take the slip to the teller.
Coinstar: https://www.coinstar.com/
This may have changed, but Coinstar used to give full value if you opted for the Amazon gift card. I haven't done this in years (I've switched to a non-cash payment system). Amazon credit is just as good as cash for me.
Well I did the math.
If you take the coins from every single way to make change from $1.01 to $2.00, you wind up with an average of 150 quarters, 80 dimes, 50 nickels, and 200 pennies.
Now for weight. Currently, quarters weigh 5.670g, dimes weigh 2.268g, nickels weigh 5g, and pennies weigh 2.5g. However, pennies from before 1982 and some from 1982 were made from more copper and weighed 3.11g, and a decent amount of those are still in circulation so we will assume pennies to weigh 2.6g at average. So, in a typical sample of coins, 1801.94g (3.9726lb) of change will be worth $50.00 exactly.
Now for one assumption. Obviously, being on letsrun, you're probably a 130lb elite miler. You say the jug probably weighs more than yourself, so we'll put it at 140lb.
140lb. 3.9726lb
----- =. -----------
$XXX $50.00
Cross multiply and solve to get...
$1762.07
If you can find a weight for this change, you can more accurately estimate the value.
Boom.
this is why I stay. And this is why I will forever use AdBlock.
I don't understand the logic in this reply. I simply stated that some banks require them to be rolled up and some do not. I know that this can vary even between two branches of the same bank that are twenty minutes apart. The fact that your father collected coins, while quaint, does nothing to alter this fact. I was simply offering some friendly advice. Also, I have a wheat penny. So... I mean... boom.
would it be worth more if you converted it to metric €€ change?

I'll bid $1762.08.
I just turned in a container of quarters that I've been filling for awhile. I used the Coinstar Machine at the supermarket. There were 2,135 quarters in the container for $533.75. I took it in an Amazon Credit to get the full value. I think if you wanted a cash voucher, Coinstar would keep 11%, which would have been about $60, which is, at least for me, too much money to leave behind. The container weighed about 27 pounds.

The coin exchange machines at the Kroger stores by my house don't take it directly from you. You put in $2000 in coins then you get $2000 in grocery store credit. Might mean you pay more for groceries as ultimately the coin machine people need to make money, but that's how it works in those stores.

It's over a grand easily unless you mostly have pennies. Every bank has a change counter. In my experience, some branches will be tightwads and try to make you roll. Others won't, so call ahead and find one that will pour it through the counter for you. They make money off you, so raise heck at your local branch if necessary. It will take forever to roll that by hand, so it's definitely cost effective to buy an automatic roller if the bank gives you no choice. Coinstar is an absolute rip off. The automatic roller will be cheaper than their fee.

How much did the 5 gallon jug depreciate by in the interim?
