Up to and including 1964 they were 90% silver. After 1965 they contained no silver except for special coins the mint produced for collectors.
If it's so worn that you can't make out the year, it's only worth its metal content. If it's an old silver coin, it might be worth $2.50 or so as scrap. If it's a modern copper-nickel quarter that is that worn down, it's only worth a quarter.
If it's so worn that there's no face, reeds (ridges), or detail at all, how do you know it's even a quarter? Assuming it's actually a quarter, for a coin to have so much wear suggests that it's quite old. If that's the case, odds are that it's made of silver, so there's value for that. By weight, it's currently worth around $5.50 for the silver content.

A new quarter will be shinier and worth more than an old dime. Quarters also have George Washington on them.
There are .7736 troy ounces in United States silver dollars (Morgan, Peace silver dollars). That worked out to the price of silver being fixed at $1.29/ounce. Troy ounces are heavier than avoirdupois ounces (31.1g vs. ~28g).
A fourth of a pound is the same as a quarter of a pound,a pound is sixtenn ounces so a quarter of a pound is 4 ounces....about a handfull for a 5 year old id say!
50 old silver dimes weigh around 175 grams in total. Each old silver dime weighs approximately 3.5 grams.
Both the Farthing and the Sixpence are part of the old redundant British currency. The Farthing was a quarter of a penny, therefore there were 24 Farthings in a Sixpence.
An old silver quarter dollar will start to melt around 1,763°F (961°C), which is the melting point of silver. However, the exact temperature may vary depending on the specific composition of the coin.
There are 4 avoirdupois ounces in the avoirdupois quarter pound or 113.40 grams. There are 3 troy ounces in the troy quarter pound or 93.31 grams. This relates to the old question "What weighs more, a pound of gold or a pound of feathers?", a trick question in more ways than one.
The quarter may be worth something depending on the ear it was minted. You can take the coin to a collector and have them appraise the quarter.

because back in the old days the quarters were made out of silver and the people would cut the outer side of the quarters off and collect the silver and cash it in later on
There's no specific year. It depends on the coin's mint mark and condition as much as its date. Any silver quarter (1964 and before) is worth at least its value in silver metal, around $6 with silver at $35/oz, but the other factors make a much bigger difference in whether the coin is collectible or not.
