What is a dollar?

A golden dollar coin is worth $1. It is made of a manganese-brass alloy. It features native American heroine Sacagawea on the front and a bald eagle on the back. Sub-units of a dollar: 100 pennies = $1, 1 nickel = 5 pennies = 1/20 dollar, 1 dime = 10 pennies or 2 nickels = 1/10 dollar, 1 quarter = 25 pennies or 5 nickels, 1 quarter = $0.25 = 1/4 dollar, 1 dime = $0.10 = 1/10 dollar, 1 penny = $0.01 = 1/100 dollar, 1 nickel = $0.05 = 1/20 dollar

What is a dime?

The dime is a US coin worth ten cents or 1/10 = 2 nickels = 10 pennies. SO, ten dimes make a dollar. One dime can be written 10¢ or $0.10. The dime is the smallest, thinnest and lightest US coin. It is made of cupronickel or copper-nickel (CuNi), which is an alloy of copper that contains nickel and strengthening elements, such as iron and manganese. It is smaller than a penny or a nickel. It has Franklin D. Roosevelt on the front and a torch on the back.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert dollars to dimes?

What's the difference between dollar bills and dollar coins?

The U.S. produces both one-dollar bills (paper currency) and one-dollar coins (metal currency), both worth exactly $1. Dollar coins include the Sacagawea dollar (golden color), Presidential dollars, and the older Susan B. Anthony dollar (silver color). Despite numerous attempts to popularize dollar coins, Americans overwhelmingly prefer dollar bills, so coins are rarely seen in circulation except in some transit systems, vending machines, and post offices. Dollar coins last much longer than paper bills (30+ years vs. 6-7 years) but are heavier to carry. Both are legal tender and accepted everywhere.

Why is the dime smaller than the penny and nickel?

The dime is smaller than the penny and nickel because it was originally made of silver, which was more valuable than the copper and nickel used in larger coins. Even though dimes haven't been made of silver since 1965 (now copper-nickel clad), the size remained the same for consistency. The dime measures 17.91mm in diameter, making it the smallest U.S. coin in circulation. It features Franklin D. Roosevelt on the obverse. The word "dime" comes from the Latin "decimus," meaning one-tenth, as it equals 1/10 of a dollar.

How many coins are in a standard U.S. coin roll?

Standard U.S. coin rolls contain specific quantities: 50 pennies ($0.50), 40 nickels ($2.00), 50 dimes ($5.00), 40 quarters ($10.00), 20 half-dollars ($10.00), and 25 dollar coins ($25.00). These standard quantities are used by banks and the Federal Reserve. Coin rolls make it easier to count and transport large amounts of coins. You can purchase empty coin roll wrappers to organize your own coins or exchange rolled coins at most banks.

What are U.S. coins made of today?

Modern U.S. coins are made of base metals, not precious metals like they once were. Pennies are 97.5% zinc with a thin copper plating (2.5%). Nickels are 75% copper and 25% nickel. Dimes, quarters, and half-dollars have a pure copper core with outer layers of copper-nickel (91.67% copper, 8.33% nickel overall). Dollar coins are manganese brass. The switch from silver coins happened in 1965 due to rising silver prices. Only pennies minted before 1982 were solid copper, making some old pennies worth more than face value for their metal content.

What coins are used in today (2026)?

The penny, nickel, dime, and quarter are the circulating coins that we commonly use today.
