How heavy is a US quarter in ounces?

Answer 1

Old-style circulating silver dollars weighed 26.7 gm when new, which is a bit less than a standard US ounce (28.35 gm). Their weight was based on the price of $1 worth of silver at the time.

Modern "eagle dollars" contain one troy ounce of silver. Troy ounces are used for precious metals and are about 31.11 gm. However, these coins aren't true silver dollars. They're bullion pieces sold to collectors and investors, not for spending. The $1 denomination is completely artificial.

Answer 2

It don't weigh an ounce. If the coin is a modern $10.00 American Eagle gold bullion coin, it's a quarter ounce of pure gold. If it's dated pre-1933 it has .48375oz of pure gold and only weighs 16.718 grams..

Answer 3

It depends on the date.

Modern "golden" dollars and Anthony dollars weigh 8.1 gm

Eisenhower dollars weigh 22.7 gm

Peace, Morgan, and Seated Liberty dollars weigh 26.7 gm

Answer 4

All current US bills regardless of denomination weigh approximately 1 gm. There are 28.35 gm in an ounce so a bill weighs 1/28.35 = 0.0353 oz

Answer 5

U.S. dimes from 1965 to date only weigh 2.27 grams, so they can't have an ounce weight.

Answer 6

Since 1965, US quarters have weighed 0.2 ounces.

Despite that nice, even figure US Coins are normally measured in standard metric units, so a modern quarter's weight is 5.67 gm.

Answer 7

The conversion is 1.17942oz

Answer 8

Depends which you buy.
