I'd choose a pickle from the jar.
Sorry. You do not have enough information to answer your question. For example, in a jar of pickles, there is no possibility of picking a penny,nickel, dime or quarter. In a jar of pennies, you will never pick a quarter, etc...

1/4 (assuming there is only one of each in the jar, i.e. one penny, one nickel, one dime and one quarter)

You need more information than that.
Are those the only four possibilities? If the jar contains ONLY those four kinds of coins, and you are picking exactly one, your odds are 4/4.

All things being equal I would guess a quarter is 4 to 1 because it is bigger

If it were up to me I would pick the quarter every time because it is worth more!
