To determine which is more valuable, we need to consider the weight and height of an average person. A pile of pennies equaling your weight would be worth around $1.00 for every 2.5 pounds, while a stack of quarters equaling your height would be worth approximately $20 for every inch. Since the average person weighs around 170 pounds and is about 5 feet 7 inches tall, the stack of quarters would likely be worth significantly more than the pile of pennies. Therefore, the stack of quarters is more valuable.
