How much does £100 pound in two pound coins weigh?

To find out how much £100 in two-pound coins weighs, we can break it down: **Value of coins**: £100 in two-pound coins means you have 50 two-pound coins (because 100 ÷ 2 = 50). **Weight of a two-pound coin**: A two-pound coin weighs about 12 grams. Now, multiply the number of coins by the weight of each coin: [ 50 \text{ coins} \times 12 \text{ grams/coin} = 600 \text{ grams} ] So, £100 in two-pound coins weighs approximately 600 grams, or about 1.32 pounds.
