A followup to the Expert Answer:

  • The value of any bulk collection of coins also depends on whether any of them are worth more to a collector. That's why it's never a good idea to simply take them to a bank - or worse yet, dump them into a supermarket coin-counter that will in addition extract a 9 or 10 percent service fee.
  • The weight ratio of dimes and quarters is intentional, and the same applies to half-dollars and old large-size $1 coins as well. The ratios date from the time when each coin contained (approximately) its face value in silver. The metal value of a specific weight of coins had to be th same not matter what denominations were used; otherwise people would trade the lighter coins for heavier ones and make a profit on the difference.

    When coins were changed to cupronickel-clad composition in the 1960s their size ratios were kept the same so they'd work compatibly in vending machines, thus their weight ratios stayed the same as well.

Oh, dude, you're really asking me about the length of rolls of coins? Well, a roll of quarters is 40 coins long, so it's like, longer than the other rolls because quarters are bigger.
