if you had a five gallon bucket full of dimes and a five gallon bucket of quarters?

Question

wich would contain the most money

Answer 1

Probably the dimes because they are more physically smaller than quarters than they are lesser in value.

Answer 2

Most people correctly guessed that dimes would be worth more.

In fact, $10 of quarters weights exactly the same as $10 of dimes. Their value is based on a silver standard of yesteryear, when their weight in silver was exactly the dollar value of the silver. They no longer contain that amount of silver, but they weight the same as they always did. The new metals had to weight the same, otherwise a lot of older coin machines would not work.

A bucket of dimes is worth more because dimes pack tighter than quarters. The bucket of quarters would have more empty space.

Answer 3

.....mhmmm the diameter of a dime is smaller than a quarter so it could fit more in a five gallon bucket, but it has less value by 15cents.....so for one dime you already have a fifteen cent difference to one quarter in it's bucket......so the true question is how many quarters fill up one five gallon bucket..... I say there is more money with the dimes.....

Answer 4

Without actually weighing the difference, it has to be the dimes.

The dimes are smaller, will pack better with less wasted space between the coins and there are at least, by weight, three dimes to a quarter - perhaps more.

Answer 5

Dimes

Edit- in the event that they are 5 years previous they could desire to be complete grown (8-12 inches long). How massive are they?

Answer 7

I guess dimes
