Which would you rather have a trunk full of nickels or a trunk half full of dimes?

They are the same amount but I'd rather have a trunk half full of dimes because it's more convenient to have less coins than more if they both equal the same.

Is a larger coin worth more than a smaller coin?

Only if it's a bullion coin, the larger coin will weigh moreMoreThe full answer is yes, no, and maybe. In some cases a coin's size is related to its value, especially if the coin is (or was) made of a precious metal. For example, a US quarter is 2.5 times the size of a dime because many years ago the coins were made of 90% silver and had to contain their actual value in metal.In other cases a lower-value coin may be larger if it is, or was, made of a cheaper metal. That's why nickels are larger than dimes - when the nickel was first made in 1866 dimes were of course silver, and 10¢ worth of silver weighed a lot less than 5¢ worth of copper and nickel.Today most coins are made of so-called base metals like copper, nickel, brass, steel, etc. and don't contain anywhere near their face value's worth in metal. Size distinctions are used simply to help people distinguish one coin from another. For example, among European coins the 1, 2, and 5 cent coins are in increasing order by size and are copper-colored. 10, 20, and 50 cent coins are bronze-colored and again in increasing size by value, but the 10 cent piece is between a 2 and 5 cent coin in size. Finally the €1 coin is in between the 20 and 50 cent piece in size.

Would a trunk of nickels be worth more or the same as a half a trunk of dimes?

The volume of a dime is roughly half the volume of a nickel, so any specific number of dimes would take up about half as much space as the same number of nickels*. In other words, a half a trunk of dimes would have at least the same number of that coin as a full trunk of nickels. However each dime is worth twice as much so the half-trunk of dimes would be worth more. * Because dimes are smaller they'd be able to pack somewhat more tightly than nickels so you could probably get slightly more dimes into the half-trunk. However that doesn't affect the answer; it simply means the half-trunk would be worth even more.
