Greetings all. I don't visit this desk often. Math isn't something I probably grep past simple, square arithmetic, but I understand (I think) that is numbers and the things they represent ((whe{rn}+/-^e) applicable) working out simple, square arithmetic over and over again, with different applications reducing anomalies into the equation until they fit with >>Reality<<, so I ask this question here, instead of Humanities or Computing (which desk I also tend not to frequent) where it might also go.
This, also, is my first question to any of the WPRef desks, since I like to think I'm smart, and toss in my ₡10.0553042 to show it every now and then & consider myself xth above equals. So I'm humbled.
My question is this: what is the value of all the coins that each person currently living on Earth hoards. By hoard I mean keep in physical form accessible without too much effort -- a jar, a book, a safe or safe deposit box, a drawer, a rafter, &c are all places one might hoard -- for some reason. The reasonings I'm thinking would be along the lines of 'valuable now, & always will be,' "not valuable here, but valuable elsewhere," "not valuable now, but possibly valuable later", 'not valuable here or elsewhere, but interesting. Nice to have around.', &c. Valuable would mean it could be traded for some good, service, or physical currency of equal or higher value. In other words, what are the:
sitting in a teapot in Someplace USA worth, in $US, against the value of all coins in similar circumstances across the world?
It seems like there should have been some attempts to figure this out made, money counting being as popular as it is, but I've no idea how to search for them. Is there a way to sift all the variables down into something that functions, even within a certain sluggish margin of error, in >>the real world<<?

What is the name of this series which defines y? a=1 to infinity y=x^(a/a+1) -- DeeperQA ( talk) 15:32, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
Let's remember to not bite people posting questions. A person wouldn't need to post a question if s/he understood all of the concepts and vocabulary. We're here to help people; not to judge them. To DeeperQA, could you take another look, and try to give us the question another time? At the moment it's hard to understand what you're asking. Take a look at our sequence and series articles too. They might help you to phrase the question. Also, maybe include a reference to the place that you found the problem. — Fly by Night ( talk) 03:45, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
