- The weight of one quarter is: 5.67 g

- The diameter of one quarter is: 24.26 mm

- The thickness of one quarter is: 1.75 mm

- Therefore, the area of a quarter is: 462.224204 sq. mm

- And the volume of a quarter is: 808.927357 cu. mm

- 55 pounds = 24.9476 kg

- So, 24947.6 grams of quarters comprises: 4400 quarters

- The volume of 4400 quarters, closely-packed is: 3,559,280 cu. mm

- The cube root off this volume is: 152.681 mm

...which would be the length of one side of a cube comprising the volume of 4400 quarters

So, not accounting for the space in between the quarters, since it is not one, contiguous slab of volume, the approximate volume of the entire mass is a cube with 15 centimeters on each side...which is approximately a cube of 6 inches on each side.
