They are sorted by size and weight. Coins that are too lite or misshaped are spit out in the reject tray.
Metal coins can weigh heavy, and are not easy to carry many coins with you.
The coins are 90% not 93% silver. The coins weigh 2.5 grams.
It depends on the coins' dates. Half dollars from 1964 and earlier weigh 12.5 grams each. 1965-1969 coins weigh 11.5 gm 1971-2008 coins weigh 11.34 gm
Susan B. Anthony (1979-81 and 1999), Sacajawea (2000-) and Presidential (2007-) dollar coins all weigh approximately 8.1 grams. Despite the different pictures and metals the coins were designed to be the same size and weight so they could be used interchangeably, especially in vending machines and coin-counters.

The coins are legal tender so a bank should accept them with no questions asked. Also many vending machines and mass-transit ticket machines take the coins, as well as the current brass ("golden") dollar coins.
there might be!
take it to coinstar and get coin count and multiply each respective coin to its mint weight and voila
At the kiosk choose "Get cash," then pour in your coins. Take your receipt to the checkout & get your cash. A 10.9% service fee applies. Fees may vary by location.
Many Publix supermarkets have CoinStar machines that will count your change and pay out bills. The machine keeps a percentage as a service charge.

Think I saw one at Smith's on 400S.
One can find information about coin machines on the 'Coinstar' website. Information about the different types of coin machines can also be found on Wikipedia.
most grocery stores have arrangements to convert coins into cash e.g. Ralphs has coinstar machines.HOWEVER ...Unless you can find one that will convert the coins for free, CoinStar and similar machines are a **VERY** bad deal. Most of them keep anywhere from 8 to 10 cents out of every dollar you put in as a so-called "convenience" fee. Check with a few larger banks. In some cases they'll take wrapped coins with no extra charge. If you live in the northeastern US there is a major bank chain that will count coins for anyone about 6%, even if you don't have an account. Some smaller banks may charge less or do it for free.
If I have $150 in coins what will coin star charge me
Technically they should accept all forms of small dollar coins - Anthony, Sacagawea, and presidential - because they have the same size, weight, and electronic "signature". However some machines may not be set to accept any dollar coins so you'd have to check around.That said, there are much less costly ways to convert coins to paper money. Unless you request the money as a gift card, most Coinstar machines charge a so-called service fee that amounts to about 9 cents out of every dollar counted. That means you'll lose nearly one-tenth of everything you put in. Check with some major banks to see if they'll count them for free. If you live in the northeast US there is a large super-regional bank with a 2-letter name and green logo that will count coins without charge, whether you have an account with them or not.
