Chairs and tables must be clean and stored at the end of each club meeting. Posted by plastered dragon Friendly Metal Detecting forum 1. To date I have recovered 4,744 coins. 384 have been nickels. I also swing an AT Pro. I'm going with the person who said people don't use that many nickels. This can be demonstrated mathematically. Assume you are a cashier and you have all the coins you need to make change. First you are going to use quarters. Whatever the value in cents you are trying to reach is (1 to 99), you'll start by dividing by 25 and set aside the remainder. You will use at most 3 quarters. 2. Second you go to dimes, since you already used quarters the remaining amount of change you are trying to make is somewhere between 1 and 24 cents. So you divide by 10 and set aside the remainder. You will use at most 2 dimes. 3. Now you have only 1 to 9 cents left, when you go to nickels and divide by 5, the most nickels you will get is only 1. 4. Whatever left is 1 to 4 pennies. So in 99 different optimal change making scenarios you will use 1-3 quarters, 1-2 dimes, 1 nickel, and 1-4 pennies. If you take ALL the scenarios and add up the coin totals you get 150 quarters, 80 dimes, 40 nickels, and 200 pennies, that's 32% quarters, 17% dimes, 9% nickels, and 43% pennies. So that right there says that 9 out of every 10 coins you recover will not be a nickel. If you add to that what coins are the easiest to see on the ground (people notice a coin, or they know they dropped change and look for it) you figure it goes by size and shininess, so you figure they'll pick up quarters and nickels first. Dimes being so tiny can get lost in the grass pretty easy, but are still probably easier to find than brown pennies. That tells me that nickels are even harder to find simply because somebody else will probably have picked them up before they became hidden. Total breakdown of my 4744 coins: 6 dollar coins, 3 half-dollars, 846 quarters, 949 dimes, 384 nickels, and 2554 pennies. That's 18% quarters, 20% dimes, 8% nickels, and 54% pennies. Given the above analysis that's pretty much as expected, even though one time I found a buried roll of nickels wrapped in electrical tape (10% of my total nickel find in one go)!
