The Oklahoma State University - Department of Chemistry illustrates
that one pound of quarters are worth $19.90 or $19.75 in quarters
using the following calculation:
1 lb = 454 g
1 dollar = 4 quarters
1 quarter = 5.70 g
1 lb X 454g X 1 quarter X 1 dollar = 19.9
1 lb 5.70 g 4 quarters
(actual would be $19.75 in quarters)
CorrectionThe above answer, despite coming from a university science department, makes a couple of assumptions. (*)> It assumes the quarters are all modern clad coins made of copper-nickel. Up till 1964 US quarters were made of 90% silver and had a mass of 6.25 gm when new. So if any of the quarters were silver there would be fewer of them in a pound but the current price of silver would result in a much higher metal value.
> The masses shown are rounded to 2 or 3 significant digits. It's not a major difference but it affects the final answer: According to the US Mint, the nominal weight of clad quarters is 5.67 gm each, or 0.20 oz. The weight standard was set before the Mint "went metric" so the weights of clad dimes, quarters, and half dollars were established as fractions of ounces.
So at 1/5 of an ounce, there are exactly 80 clad quarters, not 79, in a standard US pound.
