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.

3 quater - 3 dime equals to how many cent?

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.
