It depends on the current price of silver. Old silver dimes contain about 1/14 of a troy ounce of silver, so if for example silver is $42/oz, a silver dime is worth about $3 so it would take 30 new dimes to buy an old one.
14 silver dimes equal just little more than 1 troy oz. Each coin has .07234 oz of pure silver.
Assuming you're referring it US dimes, it depends on their dates. Dimes made since 1965 weigh 2.27 gm each and a pound is 453.6 gm so it would take 453.6 / 2.27 = 200 modern dimes. Older dimes weighed 2.5 gm so it would take 453.6 / 2.5 = 181.5 (approximately)
A half, a quarter, 27, 434, one, etc. There is no set weight for silver bars and they range in size from a gram or less (about 1/25th of a silver dollar) all the way to multiple kilograms (several hundred silver dollars).
Oh, dude, you're really getting into the nitty-gritty here. So, like, technically, it takes about 14 silver quarters to equal one ounce of silver. But hey, who's counting, right? Just toss a bunch of quarters on a scale and call it a day.
Oh, isn't that a lovely thought! You know, you can fit quite a few silver dollars in a mason jar. It all depends on the size of the jar and how neatly you stack them. Just take your time, enjoy the process, and see how many you can fit in there. Happy little coins in a happy little jar!
Coins are normally weighed in grams, not ounces. Silver dimes normally weighed 2.5 grams when new. Divide by 28.35 for ounces.Silver is sold by the troy ounce = 31.1 grams And silver dimes are only 90% silver. So adjust accordingly. It would take 13.82222... dimes to equal one troy ounce of silver. You may want to check my math.
There are 14.5833333 troy ounces in a pound of 90 silver dimes, because it's a pound of silver. It wouldn't matter if it was 40 silver quarters or 25 half dollars, it's still just a pound. There are 6.51 Troy ounces in 90 Mercury dimes. eD
14 silver dimes equal just little more than 1 troy oz. Each coin has .07234 oz of pure silver.
A 1964 dime is not rare enough to be of interest to collectors, so it is worth the value of the silver contained in it. Silver dimes only contain 0.07234 ounce of silver, which was about 80 cents worth of silver at the time this answer was made. If you take it to a dealer at this time, you would have been offered 65-70 cents for it. The price of silver is increasing and is likely greater now. See the related link below for the current value of a 1964 dime.
Anywhere from two nickels and 199 dimes to 398 nickels and one dime with a few hundred combinations in between.
To find out how many dimes it takes to make one mile, you first need to know that a dime has a thickness of about 1.35 millimeters. There are 1,609,344 millimeters in a mile, so you would divide that by the thickness of a dime. This results in approximately 1,191,000 dimes stacked on top of each other to reach a mile in height.
Pre-1965 silver dimes weigh 2.5 gm, assuming minimal wear. A pound is 453.6 gm. Grab your calculator and take it from there.
(2) quarters, (1) dime and (1) penny = 61 cents.
A dime weighs a total of 2.268 grams each, so if there are 454 grams in a pound it would take 200 dimes to weigh the equivalent of 1 pound.
1960 is not a rare date for Roosevelt dimes. Circulated, its value is determined by the fact that it's made of 90% silver. The price of silver changes a lot, so the best way to determine its melt value is to take the current price of silver and multiply it by 0.072.
There is by all accounts a misconception. We can't take away dimes from quarters since they are various groups of money. We should compute the worth of each separately and afterward add them together. 3/4: There are a quarter in one quarter. Thus, 3 quarters would be 3 x quarter = 75 pennies. Three dimes: There are a dime in one dime. Thus, 3 dimes would be 3 x dime = 30 pennies. Adding the upsides of the quarters and dimes together, you would have 75 pennies + 30 pennies = 105 pennies.
14 date's between 1875-1964. hope this helps
