Quarters, dimes, and half dollars are cupro-nickel clad. Each coin has a copper core and an outer layer, the “clad,” made of 75 percent copper and 25 percent cupro-nickel alloy. Nickels are made from the same 75-25 alloy. The Golden Dollar is also a clad coin. The alloy layers on each side of the copper core are manganese brass, a golden-colored material composed of 77% copper, 12% zinc, 7% manganese, and 4% nickel. The cent, once a copper coin, is now composed of copper-plated zinc. Copper-plated cents cost less to manufacture, and at 2.5 grams each, they weigh about 20% less than the older cent, which was 95 percent copper and 5 percent zinc.

Maximize the nickels (since they have the smallest value, it takes the most of them to make up the value you want) and use 1 each of nickels and dimes.\n\neg. $1.00 = .25 + .10 + .65\n         1 quarter, 1 dime, 13 nickels\n\n\n$15,348.30= .25 + .10 + 15,347.95\n         1 quarter, 1 dime, 306,959 nickels :)\n\nOr, for a formula, subtract $0.35 (the value of 1 quarter and 1 nickel) from the amount, then divide by $0.05.  This is the number of nickels you need, add 2 to get the total number of coins.

From 146 to 181.\n\nAssuming you're talking about US coins, there's a big problem: In November 1982, the US penny became about 0.6 gram lighter. The older coin was 95% copper and 5% zinc, while the new one is essentially copper-plated zinc (97.6% zinc and only 2.4% copper). The nominal mass of a penny before 1982 was 48 grains (about 3.11 g). The size of a penny changed very little (-0.84%) in 1982 but, because zinc is lighter than copper, the new coin's nominal mass is 2.5 g. \n\nThe price of copper had risen to $1.33 per pound in 1980, so pennies could not be minted for less than their monetary value.  Copper-plated coins postponed the crisis  (in 2000, it cost 0.81¢ to mint a penny). \nBefore 1982, there was about 146 pennies in a pound...  If all the pre-1982 pennies were out of circulation, there would be about 181 pennies to the pound. \n\nRight now, a pound of pennies from the street will contain anywhere between 146 and 181 pennies, depending on the percentage of pre-1982 pennies in it.  According to the US Mint, the approximate life span of a coin is about 25 years.  If we take this number at face value, there remains in circulation today (November 2000; 18 years later) approximately exp(-18/25), or about 48.7% of the pennies that were in circulation in November 1982. \n\nAssuming that the total number of pennies in circulation is the same today as it was in 1982 (which is probably not quite true), this would mean that a penny's mass in grams averages about 3.11(0.487)+2.5(1-0.487) which is very close to 2.8 g, so that there would be just about 162 pennies in a pound as of November 2000.  If there's already more than 160 pennies in a pound, the average penny is already slightly less than 1/10 of an avoirdupois ounce! \n\nThe above theoretical approach tells how the number of pennies in a pound varies with time, if we assume that the total number of pennies in circulation is held roughly constant...  However, it's all based on the "approximate life span" of 25 years quoted by the US Mint, which could be an overestimate for pennies.  If we are to believe some fundraisers, an average pound of pennies was already worth $1.64 (164 pennies to the pound) as early as September 1995, only 13 years after the introduction of the new penny.  164 pennies in a pound (of 453.59237 g) corresponds to a proportion (x) of pre-1982 pennies which is such that:  164  =  453.59237 / (3.11034768 x + 2.5 (1-x))   This would mean that x was already as low as 43.55% after only 13 years or so, implying that the average number of years (T) that a penny lives is such that exp(-13/T) = 0.4355.  T would thus be about 15.64 years, about  2/3  of what the US Mint states for its other coins.

Hi Judas.  The thirty coins were the price of a slave, and worth in todays money, about 30-40 dollars.  A case of beer.

A penny is a thought asked for. Two pennies is one thought too many.

10 nickels =  .50      - 1.00\n2 quarters =  .50      -\n\n\n4 dimes       =.40\n1 quarters    =.25\n7 nickels     =.35\n\n2 quarters 10 nickels\n1 quarter 4 dimes 7 nickels\n8 dimes 4 nickels

50 Cents\ncoz they are unique

3 quarters = 75 cents\n2 dimes = 20 cents\n1 nickel = 5 cents\n\n75 + 20 + 5 = 100 cents, or 1 dollar\n\n1 dollar + 4 dollars = 5 dollars\n\n5/2 = 2.50\n\nSo she has two and a half dollars, or two dollars and 50 cents --- $2.50
