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.

I would rather have a pound of quarters because they are worth more than dimes. A pound of quarters is worth $90, while a pound of dimes is only worth $36. The higher value makes quarters more desirable for practical use or exchange. Plus, they are easier to handle in larger denominations.
Well, isn't that a happy little question! In a pound of quarters, there are about 80 quarters. Since a quarter is worth 25 cents, that means there would be $20 in a pound of quarters. Just imagine all the beautiful things you could do with that!
Five pounds of quarters is equivalent to 20 quarters per pound, totaling 100 quarters. Since each quarter is worth 25 cents, you can calculate the total value as 100 quarters multiplied by $0.25, which equals $25. Therefore, 5 pounds of quarters is worth $25.
To find out how much 16,000 quarters are worth, you can multiply the number of quarters by their value. Since each quarter is worth $0.25, you calculate (16,000 \times 0.25 = 4,000). Therefore, 16,000 quarters are worth $4,000.
Fifteen pounds of quarters is equivalent to $60. This is calculated by knowing that a quarter weighs 0.2 ounces, so there are 80 quarters in a pound. Therefore, in 15 pounds, there are 1,200 quarters, and since each quarter is worth 25 cents, the total is $300.
One pound of U.S. quarters is worth approximately $40. A quarter weighs about 5.67 grams, so there are about 88 quarters in a pound. Therefore, 88 quarters multiplied by $0.25 equals $22, making a pound of quarters worth $22.
0.5 pounds * 4 quarters/pound = 2 quarters
Using modern (1965-present) quarters at a weight of 5.67 grams, with 453.59 grams to a pound, that gives 80 quarters per pound. 59 pounds times 80 quarters is 4,720 quarters, divided by four makes $1,180.
80 quarters in a pound (1qtr=.2 oz, 16 oz/.2 =80) which is worth 20 dollars.
Well, isn't that a happy little question! In a pound of quarters, there are about 80 quarters. Since a quarter is worth 25 cents, that means there would be $20 in a pound of quarters. Just imagine all the beautiful things you could do with that!
There are approximately 180 quarters in a pound, so 6 pounds of quarters would be 1,080 quarters. Each quarter is worth $0.25, so 1,080 quarters would be worth $270.
One quarter weighs 5.67 grams, and there are 453.59 grams in one pound. That makes 80 quarters to a pound, which is worth $20.
Five pounds of quarters is equivalent to 20 quarters per pound, totaling 100 quarters. Since each quarter is worth 25 cents, you can calculate the total value as 100 quarters multiplied by $0.25, which equals $25. Therefore, 5 pounds of quarters is worth $25.
A pound IS a unit of weight, so one pound of quarters weighs ...... one pound.
2000
2,000,000 quarters is worth $500,000.
80 quarters ($20) weigh one pound. $1,000 worth would weigh 50 pounds.
