The standard face value of a coin roll depends on the denomination of the coins it contains:
| Coin Type | Coins per Roll | Face Value | Wrapper Color |
|—|—|—|—|
| Pennies (1¢) | 50 | $0.50 | Red |
| Nickels (5¢) | 40 | $2.00 | Blue |
| Dimes (10¢) | 50 | $5.00 | Green |
| Quarters (25¢) | 40 | $10.00 | Orange |
| Half Dollars (50¢) | 20 | $10.00 | Tan / Gray |
| Dollar Coins ($1) | 25 | $25.00 | Black / Yellow |
While these represent the face value of the coins, the actual worth of a coin roll can be significantly higher for collectors, especially if it contains rare coins, error coins, or coins made of valuable metals like silver. For example, rolls of dimes, quarters, and half dollars produced before 1965 contain 90% silver and are thus worth more than their face value.
How many coins are in a $5 roll?
I can help with that. A standard roll of nickels contains 40 nickels. The total face value of a roll of nickels is $2.00. Collectors also ask “how many Dimes in a roll”? In a roll of dimes there are 50 coins and the face value of a roll is $5.
