The calculator needs JavaScript. The tables below give the same numbers for common cases.
| Amount | Coins | Rolls | Weight (no wrapper) |
|---|---|---|---|
| $1 | 10 | 0 rolls + 10 loose | 22.68 g (0.8 oz, 0.05 lb) |
| $5 | 50 | 1 rolls | 113.4 g (4 oz, 0.25 lb) |
| $10 | 100 | 2 rolls | 226.8 g (8 oz, 0.5 lb) |
| $20 | 200 | 4 rolls | 453.6 g (16 oz, 1 lb) |
| $50 | 500 | 10 rolls | 1,134 g (40 oz, 2.5 lb) |
| $100 | 1,000 | 20 rolls | 2,268 g (80 oz, 5 lb) |
Each dime is worth $0.10, so a dollar is 10 coins ($1 divided by $0.10). A standard roll holds 50 dimes, so that makes 0 rolls and 10 loose coins.
At 2.268 g per coin (U.S. Mint), the 10 coins weigh 22.68 g (0.8 oz, 0.05 lb) before any wrapper.
To check a loose pile of dimes, weigh it and divide by 2.268 g: the coin weight calculator does that for you. Roll wrappers and bank counting rules can differ, so ask your bank before you deposit a large amount.
