i have heard that if you fill one with mostly pennies, that it can be worth as much as $800. you can take it to a coinstar in a grocery store and cash it in. that would be the easiest way unless you want to wrap them all.

Wow, 5 gallon water bottles!!! My Idea would have been to put them in something smaller.
My bank has a change counting machine. You take in a can or jar or what ever, dump them in and out comes a receipt, take it to the cashier and she gives you cash (if you have an account there).
No rolling.
If I were you I would take a utility knife and cut off the bottom and put them into something small enough to actually get to the bank. It will take a while, not to count the labor. Maybe gallon milk jugs would be more managable.
Thinking in advance would be good next time.
Good luck and Merry Christmas.

Yes! Go to the bank and ask them for penny wrappers. There are inexpensive plastic troughs that will save you a lot of time counting out exact numbers of coins. Get one. Take your wrapped pennies to the bank, but not all at once. Have pity on the tellers! Best of luck.

No idea on the value. Put for a small fee you can have them counted at one of the Coin star machines located in lots of grocery stores and you don't have to roll them.

Check nearby supermarkets for self-service coin counting machines. The machine will usually print a voucher for groceries or cash.

There are about 7771 pennies per gallon. Four five-gallon containers will hold 155,420 pennies, totalling approximately $1,554.20.
Unless the source is incorrect and meant to say "7771 pennies per 5-gallon container," in which case you'd have approximately $310.84.

Todays penneys have 2.13 value of copper in them . the ones that was minnted before 1968 have a more pure copper in them and have a higher copper value in them. Melt them down and sell the copper for scrap.

One penny is worth more due to the copper copper content. Try to find a scrap yard that will buy them for the going market price, they will melt them down. It is against the law, so what.
