Missionary Fund

For probably 20 years or more, I have been placing loose change into an empty waterjug from a commercial watercooler in my Mom's old store. Quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies, whatever I had went into the jug.

The intent was that I was saving a Missionary Fund for a time when I would be able to serve a mission.

With all the deposits and withdrawals, and I had some help with the withdrawals, I finally took it to the bank the other day.

Here is the deal: Win a $100 Missionary Account for your child!

Guess how much was in the jug when the bank finalized their tally. Here are pictures of the jug, the height and width of the jug. Do your best figuring how the money would add up in the jug.

The top of the jug is 19 and 1/8 inches off the ground. The coins were not clearly to the top, but they were very close.




The bottom of the jar was almost 10 1/2 inches across.



It doesn't matter how you figure the amount, just put your guess into dollars and cents, and send it to me at rogerm44@gmail.com, or post your guess on the blog with a comment. (This allows others to see your guess.) All entries will be judged, whether from the blog or email.

The final day for the entries to be sent in is Friday, August 15th. The winner will receive a Missionary Bank Account worth $100.00.
