53 pennies
Nickels are worth five cents and dimes are worth ten.
To make 1 dollar using 14 coins, you can use 6 quarters (each worth 25 cents), 3 dimes (each worth 10 cents), 2 nickels (each worth 5 cents), and 3 pennies (each worth 1 cent). This totals to $1.00.
3 dimes is 30 cents and 5 nickels is 25 cents so 3 dimes is worth more.
It would all depend on the mix. If you had 180 pounds of pennies and the other 10 pounds were nickels, dimes and quarters that would be worth a lot LESS THAN if you had 180 pounds of quarters and the other 10 pounds were pennies, nickels and dimes.
Two dimes are worth 10 cents each, totaling 20 cents. Three pennies are worth 1 cent each, totaling 3 cents. Therefore, the total value of 2 dimes and 3 pennies is 23 cents.
Mintages of pennies, nickels and dimes in the 1940's and 1950's was quite high, so they are considered common -- with few exceptions. In circulated condition, wheat cents are worth about 2 cents each. Steel cents from 1943 are worth 5-10 cents each. Nickels will generally have little or no added value. The exceptions being the 1942-1945 silver nickels (identified by a large P, D or S above the building on the back) that are worth about 20 cents, and the 1950-D nickel which is worth a couple dollars. There are no dimes in this time period that have any significant collector value in circulated condition. Their value will be based on the silver they contain -- currently about 40 cents apiece.
Well, honey, if you're asking how many dimes are in 40 nickels, the answer is 8. Each nickel is worth 5 cents, so 40 nickels would be worth 200 cents. And since a dime is worth 10 cents, you'd need 8 dimes to make 80 cents. Math doesn't lie, darling!

Four dimes one nickel two pennies are worth 47 cents
Three nickels and three dimes make a total of 45 cents. Each nickel is worth 5 cents, so three nickels equal 15 cents. Each dime is worth 10 cents, so three dimes equal 30 cents. Adding them together, 15 cents plus 30 cents equals 45 cents.
5 dimes is 5 x 10 cents = 50 cents. 3 nickels is 3 x 5 cents = 15 cents. 50 cents + 15 cents = 65 cents.
