Sure. Weight the bucket. Pennies weigh 0.1 ounce. So, there are 10 pennies per ounce and 160 per pound. So, every pound is $1.60. You might want to subtract about one pound for the weight of the bucket.

TAKE 100 PENNIES AND WEIGH THEM

THEN EMPTY THE BUCKET , AND WEIGH THE BUCKET

PUT PENNIES BACK IN BUCKET ,

DEDUCT BUCKET WEIGHT ,

THEN DIVIDE THE REST BY THE WEIGHT YOU GOT FROM THE 100 PENNIES

THATS HOW MANY DOLLARS YOU GOT

ALL THE BEST
