What is the weight of 300 dollars worth of quarters weigh ?

I am going to say 15 lbs.

Quarter weighs 5.67 grams...

You do the simple math from there.

FYI A US paper bill weighs roughly 1 gram.

Some drug cartels weigh cash rather than count it because it's much quicker to weigh large bundles and or trash bags full of cash rather than counting millions of paper bills.

If a quarter does in fact weigh 5.67 grams, then $300 worth of quarters would weigh 15.00025232 pounds

Round trip on the 400 toll road for 300 straight days...or a couple of trips in the hot lanes on 85

Coke machine money+A trip to the bank=Cash for guns
Weight is easier unless you would rather count and roll 1200 quarters...

you know, you can get some clear tube, mark it in 40 quarter length increments and feed them into rolls that way, they actually make stuff that does that

Every bank I know has a machine you can just dump loose change into and it counts it for you.

The Georgia's Own Credit Unions are free for members to use their coinstar equivalent, and 3% less than coinstar for non-members.

Just get the gift certificates through Coinstar.  They have a ton of partner companies and you don't have to pay the fees.  I usually put the money into Amazon.com gift certificates, since they would get my money anyway.

What a relief!  Thought the OP might be planning to pay some $300 debt in quarters...which might not work, depending on the creditor.
