change rolls
A roll of change consists of a bundle of coins that are wrapped in paper or plastic, typically sorted by their denomination. Banks, businesses, and coin collectors utilize rolls of change to efficiently organize and transport large amounts of coins. These rolls adhere to a standard count and value, allowing for quick assessment of their worth.
Types of Coin Rolls
Each denomination of U.S. coins has a specific roll size. Here’s a breakdown:
| Coin Type | Coins Per Roll Roll | Total Value |
|---|---|---|
| Pennies (1¢) | 50 | $0.50 |
| Nickels (5¢) | 40 | $2.00 |
| Dimes (10¢) | 50 | $5.00 |
| Quarters (25¢) | 40 | $10.00 |
| Half-Dollars (50¢) | 20 | $10.00 |
| Dollar Coins ($1) | 25 | $25.00 |
How Much Are Rolls of Change Worth?
The total value of a roll of change depends on the coin type and quantity. Here’s how much each standard roll is worth:
- A roll of pennies (50 coins) is worth $0.50
- A roll of nickels (40 coins) is worth $2.00
- A roll of dimes (50 coins) is worth $5.00
- A roll of quarters (40 coins) is worth $10.00
- A roll of half-dollars (20 coins) is worth $10.00
- A roll of dollar coins (25 coins) is worth $25.00
These values apply to modern U.S. coins. However, if your roll contains older or rare coins (such as silver dimes or quarters minted before 1965), the roll's total worth could be much higher due to its numismatic or precious metal value.
