Interesting question. The answer was a bit of a surprise.
7 pounds of quarters, dimes or any mix of them will be $140.00 7 pounds of nickels will be $31.75 If the mix includes quarters, dimes, and nickels, the value will be between those two numbers.
A newly minted quarter weighs about 5.67 grams; a dime, 2.268 grams; a nickel 5.00 grams. Seven pounds is 3175.14659 grams. This is very close to the weight of 560 quarters or 1400 dimes. It is also the weight of about 635 nickels.
A mix containing the same number of each of the coins will be worth about $98.15.
