10 pennies in a time so a penny is 1/10 of a dime.
The size of coins is not directly related to their value. The penny and nickel are larger than the dime because they are made of different metals and were designed at different times with various considerations in mind, such as ease of use and production costs. The dime, despite being smaller, still holds a higher value than the penny and nickel.
There are eight possible results when flipping three coins (eliminating the highly unlikely scenario of one or more coins landing on their edge): Dime - Heads / Nickel - Heads / Penny - Heads Dime - Heads / Nickel - Heads / Penny - Tails Dime - Heads / Nickel - Tails / Penny - Heads Dime - Heads / Nickel - Tails / Penny - Tails Dime - Tails / Nickel - Heads / Penny - Heads Dime - Tails / Nickel - Heads / Penny - Tails Dime - Tails / Nickel - Tails / Penny - Heads Dime - Tails / Nickel - Tails / Penny - Tails
One penny is equivalent to one-tenth of a dime. Since a dime is worth 10 cents and a penny is worth 1 cent, it would take 10 pennies to equal 1 dime. Therefore, one penny is not equal to any dimes, but it is part of the total that makes one dime.
The value to a collector depends on the coin's condition. Show it to a coin dealer.
