Quoted: $87 Funny, but way too low. Easily $200, maybe over $300 depending on how many pennies you have. I'm pretty sure that dimes offer the most value per weight. |

I can tell you a random pound of coins is around $15. That is if your little girls are not thieving quarters for the gum machine. I fill a half gallon jar a couple times a year and I can weigh it before I go change it and it is always around $15/lbs.

I'm going to guess $259.00 total, minus whatever the machine steals as a percentage.

What it is worth can depend on more than weight if any of the coins are old enough to be rare or have silver content eaven older copper pennies are worth more than one cent. throw a pound of gold 20 dollar pieces in there you are talking serious money. Recent change face value.

I count change every day. Mixed change runs@$100 per six pounds.

Well, OP? My guess was for the full 21.5 pounds, btw.

FWIW, dimes and quarters are both $20 per pound. In the end, with an absolute mix by weight, the average is about $14-16 per pound when you consider density, displacement, etc. I have found a change jar that is kept all silver runs about 18 per pound. |

I had a jar that I didn't think had that much in it and it ended up being ~$130. You probably have more than you think.

There's no way to determine the ratio of the 4 common coins in your pocket change; however, if we can assume that "random" means an equal number of each, the problem is easily solvable.
Pennies (at least those made after 1982) weigh 2.5 grams, nickels weigh 5 grams, dimes weigh 2.268 grams, and quarters weigh 5.67 grams. One of each gives us a total of 15.438 grams. There are approximately 453.59 grams in a pound. Therefore, if an equal number of coins comprise a pound, there will be 29.38 of each. Since you can't have 0.38 of a coin, we'll round to 29. Multiplying by the value of each, the total value of the coins is $11.89. [ETA: X 21.5 = $255.64.] |

Answer's way above. Y'all are neglecting half dollars and dollar coins. Shut up. (Seriously, I just left them out for fun. But the half dollar coin turns out to be exactly twice as heavy as a quarter, so it's a wash mathematically so long as his total of quarters and half dollars is equal to the 1/4 ratio of quarters in our calculations.) |
