Take it to your bank and desposit it.  They'll hate you, but their legally obligated to take it, I hear.  That's what "all debts, public and private" means!\n\nAccording to the US Mint, a nickel weighs 5 grams even and a dime weighs 2.268 g.\n\n(Yes, purists, I know grams ain't weight, but "masses" ain't a word!)\n\nKeep in mind your numbers have only one significant digit!  (i.e., if you want better accuracy, I need numbers more accurate than "20" and "30".  How about "21.3" or something?)  Playing with the numbers gives us:\n\nNickels:  ~2000, or $100\nDimes:  ~4000, or $400

here's one with coins that was on one of the worksheets i have:\n\nlet's say, for example, that you have $8.75 in dimes and quarters and there are 65 coins. how many dimes and quarters are there?\n\nso there would be 2 equations:\nd+q=65 (which is how many coins there are)\n\nand\n\n10d+25q=875 (how much money there is in dimes and quarters)\n\nfrom there, you'd solve it up and down like\n\n 10d+25q=875\n+  d+  q= 65 (Multiply by 10)\n---------------------------\n 10d+25q  =875\n+(-10d-10q=-650)\n-----------------------\n       15q= 225\n         q=15\n\nthen you plug in 15 for q for one of the equations.\n\n15+d=65\n65-15=50\nd=50\n\nyou'd have 50 dimes and 15 quarters. (i hope)\n\ni also hoped this helped ^^;

Do you live in the United States? I'm assuming you do... if not, my answer won't be much help.\n\nI love the Professional Coin Grading Service. Their web site shows you a lot about coins (how to approximately grade them yourself, how to tell which coins you have and their history, coin values updated daily, etc.) and if you send them the coins, they will grade them for you.\n\nAs for the dollar bill, I'm not sure how you would find the value for that. I can't even find a record of something like that online - even at the Bureau of Printing & Engraving site!\n\nGood luck!

I would pick up all of them, Say, "Yeah, I got a change cycle" then go to my blog and add 41 cents to my running tally of found money.  \n\nP.S. -- A change cycle is when you find a penny, nickel, dime and quarter all on the same day (like baseball players hitting for the cycle -- single, double, triple, and homerun in same game)

no . 12 miles times 30 cents each would be 3.60. multiply that by 5. then add 45 cents. it would come out to 18.45

What math test do you take?  I'm in Algebra 1 and I only remember 1 question.  It's impossible.\n\nSomeone has a total of 100 coins in dimes and quarters.  The total value adds up to $14.05. How many quarters does she have?\n\nA) 27 (I chose this-it's a dollar off)\nB) 40\nC) 56\nD) 79 (I forget-it's way too high)\n\nWell, that's all I have.  Bye bye!\n\nThanks to the guy who solved that.  I won't get a zero now!

There is no missing dollar. You can't add them together that way. $25, the right price, plus the $2 the dishonest bellhop kept, plus the three $1's each man got, equals $30.

Depending on condition of the coins, the penny could be worth up to $8 and the nickel up to $2! Sorry!

Let n be the number of each coin (she has the same number of each coin).  Let's simplify things and do everything in cents (rather than dollars).\n\nThe value of the quarters would be 25n\nThe value of the dimes would be 10n\nThe value of the nickels would be 5n\nAll together she has 320 cents ($3.20).\n\nPutting this into an equation:\n25n + 10n + 5n = 320\n\nAdd the like terms:\n40n = 320\n\nDivide both sides by 40:\nn = 8\n\nTherefore Pat has 8 of each coin.\n\nHer $3.20 is broken down as follows:\n8 quarters = $2.00\n8 dimes = $0.80\n8 nickels = $0.40

20= 4x*.25 + 2x*.5 +x*1\n20 dollars =  quarters+half dollars+dollars\n20= 1x+1x+1x\n20=3x \nindivisible logically/ does not equal a whole number\n\nbegan with logic that half dollars was 2x intead of x for sake of doubling

Your best bet is to find a coin dealer in your area.  You can check out approximate values by looking at what the coin and silver certifates are selling for on ebay, or at one of the online price guides.  Good luck!

N = the number of nickels\nD = the number of dimes\nQ = the number of quarters\n\nFirst we have to figure out our equations.  \n\nThere is 5 cents in a nickel, 10 cents in a dime and 25 cents in a quarter, so\n8.80 = .05N+ .1D + .25Q\n\n4 nickels fewer than three times the number of dimes gives the equation\nN = 3D - 4\n\none quarter more than three-fourths the number of dimes gives the equation\nQ = 3/4 D + 1\n\nWe have the following three equations:\n8.80 = .05N+ .1D + .25Q\nN = 3D - 4\nQ = 3/4 D + 1\n\nIn the three equations, D is the only variable that they have in common.  We will have to find D first to figure it all out.\n\nSo we will substitute into our first equation leaving D in the equation everywhere.\n8.80 = .05N+ .1D + .25Q\n8.80 = .05(3D - 4) + .1D + .25(3/4D + 1)\n8.80 = .15D - .2 + .1D + .1875D + .25\n8.80 +.2 - .25 = .15D + .1D + .1875D\n8.75 = .4375 D\n20 = D\n\nWe will use D and substitute back into the other equations we have to find how many of the other coins.\n\nN = 3D - 4\nWe know D = 20, so\nN = 3*20 - 4\nN = 56\n\nQ = 3/4 D + 1\nAgain, we know D = 20, so\nQ = 3/4 (20) + 1\nQ = 15 + 1\nQ = 16\n\nWe know now that there are\n20 dimes\n56 nickels\n16 quarters

When they changed from silver to modern coinage, they kept the weights the same so both would work in vending machines.\n\npennies = 2.5 g x 57 = 142.5 g\nnickels = 5.0 g x 3 = 15 g\ndimes = 2.268 g x 3 = 6.804 g\nquarters = 5.67 g x 2 = 11.34 g\nhalves = 11.34 g x 1 = 11.34 g\n\nNote that a dime weighs 1/5 of a half dollar and a quarter weighs half as much, so that when they were all silver you'd get an equal amount of silver for an equal amount of cents.\n\nThere are about 454 g in a pound, or 227 in a half pound.  These coins add up to 186.984 g, or a little less than half a pound.

It will probably cost you more in gas then they are worth.  Most wheat cents are worth about 1.5 to 3 cents each when circulated.  Even brilliant uncirculated cents with dates after about 1944 are not worth a lot more.  So, unless you have cents in the teens and twenties they are probably worth more as a memory.  The valuable ones (major bucks) are: 1909-S vdb, 1909-S, 1914-D, 1922 plain (no mintmark), 1931-S.  Vox Populi

Very interesting!  Start taking the dimes.  Then give them to a charity.  Maybe one day you'll have the same thing happen with 10 dollar bills.
