146 Dimes weigh 2.268 grams and it takes 200 dimes to make a pound using the current Roosevelt dimes
14 silver dimes equal just little more than 1 troy oz. Each coin has .07234 oz of pure silver.
With a weight of 2.268 grams per dime, and 453.592 grams per pound, it makes 200 dimes to the pound. So, 200 dimes per pound times 12 pounds is 2,400 dimes, or $240.
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.
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)
