Best Answer

US Coins are measured in metric units so you have to start with the fact that a US pound is 453.6 gm.

  • $1 coins weigh 8.1 gm so a pound of dollars is 453.6 / 8.1 = 56 $1 coins, or $56.
  • Dimes weigh 2.27 gm so 10 lbs would be 10 * 453.6 / 2.27 coins = 2000 ten-cent coins, or $200
  • Nickels weigh 5.00 gm so 30 lbs would be 30 * 453.6 / 5.00 = 2722 five-cent coins (rounded to the nearest nickel), or $136.10
