I have the same one it is full to half way up the stem, it was that heavy it snapped in half!!!
I put anything under a 50p in there so it should be a few hundred, started counting and got to £40 without scratching the surface of it!!

Default not a cent

every week about 10 Euro in loose change goes in, but my wife keeps on taking it out at the weekends to buy a pint of milk or some bread. bloody annoying she is. Its hardly worth the time to count it now.

Got an old (6litre) whisky bottle half full of 1p's,2p's and 5p's.

Might be worth counting it actually.. never bothered, but id say at least £5 a week goes in it... had it for years aswell
