There are several combinations of US Coins that can make up one ounce, depending on the denominations used. For example, a combination of 11 quarters, 20 nickels, 40 pennies, or 5 dimes would each weigh one ounce collectively. This is because a quarter weighs 5.67 grams, a nickel weighs 5 grams, a penny weighs 2.5 grams, and a dime weighs 2.268 grams. By calculating the total weight of the coins based on these values, we can determine the number of coins needed to make up one ounce.

US coins come in different sizes and weights. Here are the current coin weights:

The current US penny (cent) weighs 2.5 grams

The current US nickel (5 cents( weighs 5 grams (twice penny)

The current US dime (10 cents) weighs 2.268 grams

The current US quarter (25 cents) weighs 5.67 grams (twice dime)

The current US half-dollar (50 cents) weighs 11.34 grams (twice quarter)

The current small US dollar coin weighs 8.1 grams

So there would be the following per ounce (avoirdupois) of 28.35 grams:

11.34 pennies

5.67 nickels

12.5 dimes

5 quarters

2.5 half-dollars

3.5 dollar coins
