Calculator
The calculator needs JavaScript. The tables below give the same numbers for common cases.
| Coin | Coins | Rolls | Weight (no wrapper) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pennies | 2,000 | 40 rolls | 5,000 g (5 kg, 11.02 lb) |
| Nickels | 400 | 10 rolls | 2,000 g (70.55 oz, 4.409 lb) |
| Dimes | 200 | 4 rolls | 453.6 g (16 oz, 1 lb) |

Enter a dollar amount and the table shows how many of each coin make it, how many full rolls that is and how many loose coins are left, plus the weight of the coins without wrappers.
Counts are the amount divided by the coin value. Roll counts for pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters come from the U.S. Mint.
If the amount is not a whole number of a coin, the table rounds down to whole coins and marks the row "(+ part)", so you can see which coins cannot make the amount exactly.
