Well let's say it was something small like a coffee bean. On doing a little research I found a coffee website that said that there are an average of about 3000 coffee beans per pound, so that would make the weight (not including the weight of the receptacle) about 1.6 million pounds. So I'm guessing that it wasn't a traveling carnival. 
Edited to add something I read somewhere else
Quote:
4,815,162,342 beans, counting 1 per second, would take more than a CENTURY to count:
60 seconds
x 60 minutes
x 24 hours
x 365 days / year
Equals 31,536,000
now take 4,815,162,342 and divide into it 31,536,000 and you get:
152.7 YEARS
