About this calculator
Counting coins is multiplication in disguise: quarters are worth $0.25, dimes $0.10, nickels $0.05 and pennies $0.01. Enter how many of each you've sorted and the total appears, along with the coin count for bagging or rolling.
If you're rolling coins for the bank, US standard rolls hold 40 quarters ($10), 50 dimes ($5), 40 nickels ($2) and 50 pennies ($0.50) — the calculator's totals tell you how many complete rolls a pile makes.
For a till or cash drawer, count each denomination separately (sorting first is faster than counting mixed), enter the counts, and reconcile the total against the register figure.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a roll of quarters?
$10 — a standard US quarter roll holds 40 coins. Dime rolls hold 50 ($5), nickel rolls 40 ($2), and penny rolls 50 (50¢).
What's the fastest way to count a jar of coins?
Sort first, count second: group by denomination, stack in fives or tens, then multiply. Counting a mixed pile coin-by-coin invites errors; sorted stacks make miscounts visible at a glance.
How much does $10 in quarters weigh?
About 227 g — each quarter weighs 5.67 g and $10 is 40 coins. A pound of quarters, conveniently, is almost exactly $20.
