All things equal, Catena. The man had more money than you could fathom. I’m not talking stocks, property, or other assets that could lose value. I’m talking liquid. My uncles told me a story about a guy who ran vending machines for him in Nj and Pa(Him and Bufalino were tight and were partners in a few things in pa) and they IRS raised the guys property in the woods. They were filling up a tractor trailer full of 55 gal drums FILLED with quarters. 50-60 55 gal drums filled to the brim with quarters. Fucking insane.


This is a crazy story so for the hell of it, I googled "How many quarters fit in a 55 gallon drum". Lo and behold, someone out there online already did the math:

"Your 55 gallon drum comes to 208 liters, or 208,000 cubic centimeters, or 208,000,000 cubic millimeters. 208,000,000/808.5 gives you 257,612 quarters, but with 75% packing efficiency, only 193,208 quarters will fit in your drum. That comes to $48,302 dollars worth of quarters."

So 48.3K x 50 = 2.415M buried
Or if it was 60, 2.898M buried.

So they had somewhere between 2.4-2.9M in quarters buried out in the woods. Crazy shit... Nevermind adjusting for inflation lol
