can you weigh UK coins on digital kitchen scales?
as an example, how much does a bag (£20) of £1 coins weigh?
same with all other coin denominations. if no-one knows can someone atleast pass me onto a website that gives this type of conversion ratio would be usefull.
thanks
thanks for the useless answers...
what i want to know is are they accurate enough to do so?
i know that kitchen scales, even digital ones are unlikely to weigh the mass of a single coin.
i'm doing this as a favour for a local charity because they can't afford proper coin scales. i don't actually have the bags or lose coinage with me here.
The kitchen scales would do a fair job - but it won't necessarily be accurate particularly for small numbers of the lighter coins.
You could find a "friendly" local bank to weigh the coins on their more accurate scales!
1p = 3.56g
2p = 7.12g
5p = 3.25g
10p = 6.5g
20p = 5g
50p = 8g
£1 = 9.5g
£2 = 12g
