> The nickels to dollars calculator counts the value of a pile of nickels in dollars and cents, and shows how many standard bank rolls and how much the coins weigh, using U.S. Mint specifications.

## Inputs

- Number of nickels

## Results

- Value
- In cents
- Full bank rolls
- Coins left over
- Weight of the coins

## Formula

```
dollars = number of nickels × 0.05
weight = number × 5.0 g
```

## Explanation

Each nickel is worth 5 cents. Banks wrap nickels in rolls of 40 coins ($2.00 per roll). A nickel weighs 5.0 g, so you can also estimate a jar of coins by weight.

### How to use the Nickels to Dollars Calculator

- **Number of nickels**
- Every result field is editable: type into **Value** and **Number of nickels** plus every other field update to match.

Results update as you type, and every field accepts the units shown in its menu.

### How it works

The count is multiplied by the coin’s face value. Rolls and weight use the official U.S. Mint coin weights. Type a dollar amount into the result to get the number of coins instead.

### What each result means

- **Value** = [Number of nickels] × 0.05
- **In cents** = [Number of nickels] × 5
- **Full bank rolls** = floor([Number of nickels] ÷ 40)
- **Coins left over** = [Number of nickels] - 40 × floor([Number of nickels] ÷ 40)
- **Weight of the coins** = [Number of nickels] × 5.0 ÷ 1000

## Worked example

Inputs — Number of nickels: 100.

Results — **Value = $5.00**; In cents = 500 ¢; Full bank rolls = 2; Coins left over = 20; Weight of the coins = 500 g.
