It used to be 60 cans for $1 few years back... Right now, the market hovers at $1.5 - $2 for each KG... With rising cost of Aluminum as raw material, companies are using thinner cans and now it takes about 80 cans to get 1 KG, working out to be 2cts on averages..Originally posted by Seven_Dragon:Heard from my neighbour, one can ten cents
so ten cans one buck...
maybe next time when we old, we also need to collect cans to sell

60 cans = 1kg
