Default How much money in two square foot of 1 and 2 pence coins?

someone wrote:
Anyone like to hazard a guess how much money there would be in a box filled with pennies and tuppences?
The dimensions are 1 x 1 x 2 feet?

What's the ratio between the pennies and tuppences? You could have a box
with, say, 300 tuppences and 1 penny or 400 pennies and one tuppence.
This results in wildly different values. It would be better to have box
filled entirely of pennies or tuppences to stand any chance of figuring
out the value.
