Sorry to pop any bubble you may have, but assuming the coins are all dated 1965 or later they're only worth face value. Dimes and quarters from 1965 and later are made of copper-nickel and don't have any silver, so they have no value to a metal dealer. However if there are any halves mixed in that are dated 1969 or earlier, they contain anywhere from 40% to 90% silver, so those would be worth more if sold to a metal dealer.
If you can't spend them easily, DO NOT TAKE THEM TO A COIN-COUNTING MACHINE! Those machines take 8 to 10 cents out of every dollar put in as a so-called "convenience" fee. Call a couple of banks and see if they take unwrapped coins. If you live in the northeast part of the U.S. there's a big chain bank with a green logo* that will count coins for free.
(*) I work for a competing financial company so I can't use specific names.

Sure thing, honey. If one coin isn't a dime, then it must be a quarter. The other coin must be a dime. A quarter plus a dime equals 35 cents. Math doesn't lie, darling.
You can tell a coin is silver by either looking at the edge and finding it a uniform silver color (with no darker colors) or by finding a dime, quarter, half dollar or dollar with a date from before 1965. They now make silver versions of the dime, quarter and half, but only in proof sets.
