After showing you how to find the answer, we then provide a summary of what we found.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Calculation Steps<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To calculate the number of quarters that fit in a 55-gallon drum, follow these steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Step 1:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Calculate the volume of the drum (208,197.65 cubic centimeters)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A 55-gallon drum is a cylinder with a volume of 55 gallons, 208.19765 liters, 0.20819765 cubic meters, 12,705 cubic inches, 208,197.65 cubic centimeters, or 208,197,650 cubic millimeters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Step 2:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Calculate the volume of one quarter (0.80893 cubic centimeters)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To find the volume, we used the fact that a quarter is a cylinder with a height of 1.75 mm and a diameter of 24.26 mm. The equation to find the volume of one quarter is the formula for a cylindrical container:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Volume = pi * radius\u00b2 = pi * (24.26mm\/2)\u00b2 = pi * (12.13)\u00b2 = 808.93 mm\u00b3=0.80893 cm\u00b3<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Step 3:<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Divide the volume of the drum by the volume of a quarter to find the theoretical maximum number of quarters with perfect packing and round to the nearest whole number.

There is an inherent inefficiency in packing coins because they are small round cylinders with a low aspect ratio, which leads to air gaps between coins. For this reason, it is impossible to achieve perfect packing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For example, pennies have been experimentally shown to have a\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/torquatocpanel.deptcpanel.princeton.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/files\/publications\/papers\/\/paper-248.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">packing efficiency of 57%<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.

In contrast, quarters have a higher packing efficiency than in the case of pennies.

The U.S. Mint began producing quarters in 1796, and they are still being made today.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_quarters_made_from\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What are quarters made from?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Quarters are mostly made of copper but also contain nickel. To be precise, modern-day American quarters are\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmint.gov\/learn\/coin-and-medal-programs\/coin-specifications\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">91.67% copper and 8.33% nickel<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. It wasn&#8217;t always this way, though! Before 1965, quarters were 90% silver and 10% copper. What has stayed the same is that every quarter is still worth precisely 25 cents.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_banks_give_out_quarter_rolls\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Do banks give out quarter rolls?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Most banks will give quarter rolls to customers with a bank account. Quarter rolls are rolls that contain 40 quarters worth $10.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_would_you_prefer_Half_a_barrel_of_dimes_or_a_barrel_of_nickels\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Which would you prefer: Half a barrel of dimes or a barrel of nickels?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You would prefer a half barrel of dimes to a barrel of nickels because half a barrel of dimes is worth more than a barrel of nickels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This is because the diameter and thickness of a dime are smaller than the diameter and thickness of a nickel. A dime has a diameter of 0.705 inches and a thickness of 1.75 mm. In comparison, a nickel has a diameter of 0.835 inches and a thickness of 1.95 mm. This means that more dimes would fit in a half barrel than nickels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Since dimes are worth two times as much as nickels and dimes are smaller than nickels, a half barrel of dimes is worth more than a barrel of nickels.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Conclusion<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In conclusion, 193,030 quarters worth $48,257.50 will fit in a 55-gallon drum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Every effort was made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this article and converter.
