Partially correct. The sound of a coin going into a coinbox that is nearly empty is much different than when there are coins in it. You can almost tell how full the coin box is based on sound.
Regardless, if someone wanted a more authentic sound with a tupperware container, they just need to make sure they leave a good bit of spare change in the "coinbox", as gamester pointed out.

EDIT: Another cheap idea that may work, get an old metal hubcap* and place that in the bottom of the container (or duct tape card paper around the sides to prevent stray coins). This should help make the hollow clinking sound that a nearly empty coinbox makes, and then transition to the sound of a more full coinbox as it fills up. ( * Car hubcap, sheetmetal ashtray, baking pan, etc)

I was making a point of the sound from an empty coin box versus one that already had coins in it. In a nearly empty coinbox the sound is more from the container/bucket's material.

Beretta:
well obviously, i mean it wouldn't get it's unique sound from other coins if they're not there right?

i think most of us remember the sound with the coins as more often then not thats the sound you would get after a layer or two of coins had been deposited they could still hold much more then that.

Point, and understood.

Still, I like my idea of using a baking pan instead of tupperware. I have a real over under, but had considered using plastic ware before. Not to continue too much along the line: but maybe as a test it would be interesting to hear what the difference is. Hell, even a cheap "one-time-use" turkey pan... I am prolly looking too much into this, but for some every little anal bit counts  ;)
