| Amount | Coins | Rolls | Weight (no wrapper) |
|---|---|---|---|
| $1 | 4 | 0 rolls + 4 loose | 22.68 g (0.8 oz, 0.05 lb) |
| $5 | 20 | 0 rolls + 20 loose | 113.4 g (4 oz, 0.25 lb) |
| $10 | 40 | 1 rolls | 226.8 g (8 oz, 0.5 lb) |
| $20 | 80 | 2 rolls | 453.6 g (16 oz, 1 lb) |
| $50 | 200 | 5 rolls | 1,134 g (40 oz, 2.5 lb) |
| $100 | 400 | 10 rolls | 2,268 g (80 oz, 5 lb) |
Each quarter is worth $0.25, so a dollar is 4 coins ($1 divided by $0.25). A standard roll holds 40 quarters, so that makes 0 rolls and 4 loose coins.
At 5.67 g per coin (U.S. Mint), the 4 coins weigh 22.68 g (0.8 oz, 0.05 lb) before any wrapper.
To check a loose pile of quarters, weigh it and divide by 5.67 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.
