Best Answer

The half truckload of dimes is more valuable.

If comparing the value of "half as many" dimes (10 cents) to nickels (5 cents), the value would be the same. But a "truckload," using the same type of truck, would be based on weight or volume. In either case, you have more value in the smaller, lighter dimes.

The nickels are more than twice as heavy, and more than twice the volume:

Nickel - 5.0 grams, volume 689 mm3

Dime - 2.268 grams, volume 340 mm3

How much is an 1839 nickel worth?

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.
