 Converting 32 fl. oz. to mm<sup>3</sup> results in a desired volume of 946,353 mm<sup>3</sup>.
+===== Summary =====
+The lowest value option is the result of filling the vessel exclusively with nickels. This results in a theoretical maximum value of $68.68, but a more realistic value of approximately $27 due to the space between the coins.
+The highest value option results from filling the vessel with dollar coins for a theoretical maximum of $858.58, but a more realistic value of approximately $343.
+**The more likely scenario is a mix of nickels, dimes, and quarters. Assuming an even distribution of all three denominations results in a theoretical value of $205.95 with a more realistic value of approximately $82.**

+===== Weight =====
+Purely as a thought experiment, the total weight of the vessel for each coin may be calculated. These values assume the theoretical maximum number of coins and should be derated as necessary to account for the spaces between the coins:
