To determine how many dimes it takes to make a mile, first note that a dime has a thickness of about 1.35 millimeters. There are 1,609,344 millimeters in a mile. Dividing the total millimeters in a mile by the thickness of a dime gives approximately 1,191,000 dimes to stack them to reach a mile high.
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.

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.
