    a dime weighs 2.268 grams / .00500094 lbs. this means a pound of dimes is 200 dimes, or $20.00.

    a quarter weighs 5.670 grams / .01250235 lbs. this means a pound of quarters is 80 quarters, or $20.00.

    so they are worth the same amount.

    THEY ARE BOTH WORTH EXACTLY THE SAME.

    1 dime weighs 2.268 grams

    1 quarter weighs 5.67 grams

    there are about 200 dimes in one pound

    there are about 80 quarters in one pound

    dimes: 200*10=2000cents=$20

    quarters: 80*25= 2000 cents = $20

    To some of the other answerers:

    The question is not which one weighs more

    They are of equal value:

    There are 200 dimes in a pound= $20..

    There are 80 quarters in a pound= $20.00

    If it is the closest to a pound without going over then it would be a lb of dimes at a value of $19.90 to the lb quarter at $19.75 or otherwise.

    Both equal $20.

    quarter = 5.7g

    dime = 2.27g

    A pound is 453.6g

    $20 of quarters = 456g

    $20 of dimes = 454g

    Dimes are lighter than quarter. However if a qaurter weighs less than 2.5 dimes, then a pound of quarters is WORTH more than a pound of dimes. If less, a pound of dimes are WORTH more.

    A quarter's weight is 5.670 grams. A dime's weight is 2.268 grams. There are about 453.592 grams in one pound. One pound of quarters is approx. 78 quarters which is $19.50. One pound of dimes is approx. 200 dimes which is $20.00. Therefor a pound of dimes is worth $.50 more than a pound of quarters.

    a pound of quarters and a pound of dimes are each worth 20.00, give or take a few dimes or quarters.

    Dime=2.268 g=0.005000084lb

    Quarter=5.670 g=0.01250021 lb

    For 1lb rounded to the nearest whole coin:

    200 dimes @ $.10= $20.00

    80 quarters @ $.25=$20.00

    a dime weighs .005 lbs, a quarter weighs .0125 lbs.

    There are 2000 dimes per pound or $200/lb

    There are 80 quarters per pound or $20/lb

    A pound of dimes is worth more.
