Coin roll calculator
A roll holds 50 pennies ($0.50), 40 nickels ($2), 50 dimes ($5), 40 quarters ($10), 20 half dollars ($10) or 25 dollar coins ($25). The last two are common bank rolls; confirm with your bank.
Half dollar and dollar coin roll counts are common bank rolls, not official figures we could verify.

Choose the coin, then either the number of rolls (the tool shows the coins, face value and weight) or the dollar amount you need (the tool shows how many full rolls and how many loose coins). Weights are the U.S. Mint coin weights multiplied by the coin count, so the wrapper is not included.
The page for each coin goes further: how many are in a roll, what a roll is worth, how many make a pound and what one coin weighs. Roll counts for pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters come from the U.S. Mint.
