Buckets of Coins

Which would be worth more, a bucket full of nickels or a half bucket of dimes?

Show the answer »

The half bucket of dimes. It might be tempting to say they’d be worth the same, since a nickel is worth half as much as a dime. This would be accurate if they were the same size, but the dime is smaller. Thus more dimes would fit in the same space, resulting in more value for you, you lucky dog.
