Guess: How much is in this piggy bank?

Feek · 16 Feb 2018 at 06:46

I've been putting any new pound coins I've received in this piggy bank since they were released last year. Every single pound coin I've had has gone in this bank, I've never spent a single one. Going home from the local beer festival last year with a pocket full of coins was interesting and can you imagine how I felt when I paid with a £20 note for something that cost £3 recently only to be told "sorry mate, I've got no notes". I got 17 x £1 coins in change which all went in the piggy bank.

It's now practically full. I can't get any more coins in through the slot.

Make your guesses - How much is in here?

/edit - Correct answer is here.

To help you along, I've weighed it on my kitchen scales which cut off at 2kg.

It's too heavy for the scales, they display an error.

Nobody has got it right yet although one person is within £3.

The closest guess was made before I posted the picture and still, nobody has got it right.

However this was the closest reply before the picture of the stacks was posted.

It's more than I expected and a nice little bonus.
