Hello
I was thinking of the total weight ($600.00 dollars). A lot of work to
lift that much in coins.

What was a tavern doing with so many Susie's, Sac's and halves?
Not knowing how many halves were in the bunch, the bundle probably
weighed 11 - 15 pounds.
No safe????

Tips.

Sounds like a sports bar so may have had numerous coin operated machines.

And it would be even more if that $600 were all in quarters and halves.
It is not at all unusual for bars to use halves for making change - they are a
great way of extracting tip revenue from customers, also serving as a
'reminder' form of marketing, as in "Hmmm, a couple of halves, they must be
from that bar".
As for the $1 coins, there is a (or maybe more) major amusement machine
supplier/operator here in eastern Wisconsin (Amusement Devices Inc. of
Menasha, WI is the one that I know of) who uses them in their bar pool tables
($1 to get the balls out).
Cedar Grove, WI is a little bypassed-by-the-interstate dot on the map just a
bit south of Sheboygan, WI, maybe 45 minutes or so north of Milwaukee.

The normal procedure for coin-ops is for the machine owner to split the
take 50/50 with the bar owner.

As the Mint's website and Fred said, 8.1 grams per $1 coin times $600
weighs in at 4,860 grams. At 453.592 grams/pound, it works out to
roughly 10-3/4 pounds. Not all that heavy.

4860 grams = 4.86 kg. Since one liter of water = 1 kg (and old original
definition), think: 'Just under two and one half 2 liter bottles of Coke'.

What's the mob's percentage?
