If it was the same roll from 1900 it might be worth a bit to a coin collector. Nice twist with the roll!
I was thinking a five dollar bill. Good one though!
Great one I love it!
good 1 man! thought its was a $5 bill though! but thats wat makes it hard. Right¿
It was actually pretty easy because I just put my dimes in one of them.
cool lol i also thought that it was a $5 bill
ok that was pretty nice riddle and i bet thatit would be the best ever known jk its ok though
the answer to this teaser is incorrect. jimbo hit the nail on the head when he mentioned value to collectors. Barber dimes (circa 1900) in good condition can be worth hundreds of dollars. even a 1950 roosevelt dime in mint condition can fetch upwards of $100.
that was pretty easy.
What about 45 dimes, 5 nickels and 1 quarter. That's 51 items that total 5 dollars!
anyone else confused on this 1???
Another solution:
1.00 X 1 = 1.00
0.25 X 7 = 1.75
0.10 X 2 = 0.20
0.05 X 41 = 2.05
Total 51 $5.00
1.00 X 1 = 1.00
0.25 X 7 = 1.75
0.10 X 2 = 0.20
0.05 X 41 = 2.05
Total 51 $5.00
