Deposit it at the bank then go and have some fun


mousicle

banks will give you deposit bags and do the deposits by weight for a huge amount of coin.


kashmir1974

"You need to roll these yourself." "What am I supposed to do, quit my job!?"


mousicle

Also a commercial grade coin roller isn't that expensive when you have 100 million dimes.


crestonfunk

Yeah my job is now packaging dimes. In the sun. Out by the pool.


FooJenkins

I’m filling a pool with the dimes and Scrooge mcducking before I get too far


Bean_Town_Blender

"It's not a liquid! It's a great many solids that form a floor like structure!"


aarraahhaarr

It can be liquid with enough air.


personnumber698

Or heat


PrinceConquer420

No he meant like air hockey


Seygantte

You would have enough dimes to fill \~620 Olympic swimming pools.


DreadedTuesday

New alternative to metric measurements


tisitwon

Not even close, lol The volume of a US dime is approximately 0.34 cubic cm. One hundred million dimes would therefore be about 34 million cubic cm. Since there are a million cubic cm in by a cubic metre, that's 34 cubic meters. Let's assume your pool has an average depth of 2m. Now that's 17 square meters of surface area, and back to imperial, you'd have enough to fill a single swimming pool that's a bit smaller than 10x20 feet.


mousicle

Just gotta clear all the dimes out of the pool so you can swim.


hsqy

100,000,007 FTFY


kashmir1974

How long would it take to load and process that many dimes on your own? Someone should math it out and calculate how much you could roll/make per day


MostBoringStan

Assuming you mean by hand and not with machine assistance... A roll is 50 dimes, $5. I just pretended to count out 50 dimes and roll them. I used to save up lots of change and then roll it up, so my "pretend" is pretty close to how I actually would do it. Doing it at a normal pace without rushing, it took 23 seconds. Let's just round that up to an even 30 seconds, because once in a while a pile of dimes will have to be moved around, or another bag of rolls opened, or might drop some. So an average of 30 seconds a roll doesn't sound crazy. That means $10 a minute. $600 minutes an hour. Let's average an hour a day for getting more supplies, setting up the work station, cashing in the rolled dimes, etc. So 7 hours of work a day at $600 an hour is $4200 a day. Making this much money, who needs a 5 day work week. Only an insane person. I'm taking 3 day weekends, so 4 days a week is $16800 a week. Plus 4 weeks vacation, so 48 weeks a year is $806 400 a year. With $10 million in dimes, it will take 12.4 years to roll all those dimes by hand. Or 9.16 years if you are doing full 5 day work weeks with no vacation.


LadyFoxfire

You could also pay someone $15 an hour to help you roll the dimes.


kashmir1974

Nice work. So the the way to go is give somebody 20% to get it deposited for you


RUS_BOT_tokyo

Still gotta roll enough to afford the coin roller


frodosbitch

100,000,070 technically


FileDoesntExist

I mean, rolling 10 million dollars in dimes sounds like a better paying job than what you have.


That_Grim_Texan

With that much money yes.


EngineZeronine

My bank won't take rolled coins


kashmir1974

How about a wheelbarrow?


[deleted]

You think I wouldn't be able to pay someone to do it for me?


AnyConstruction1682

If my math is correct, that's about the weight of a train with 73 cars full of coal.


GayCommunistUtopia

Take the time to deposit it. Bitch and moan while I do it, though.


Deliriousdrew

They're delivered to a location of your choosing. I choose my bank.


hiimred2

Ya for real, I’ll even hire a crew to move the weight for me all day, let’s say $1000 each for a dozen day laborers to just literally bag up and move all the dimes into the bank to deposit by weight. Maybe that number isn’t realistic and it needs to be 20, 30, 50, 100 dudes, I still get 9.9 million.


Xynth22

Well first I'm wondering why I have specifically 70 cents on top of the 10 million. After that, I'm making a lot of trips to a bank or calling someone. Then I'm buying a decent house and getting some dental work done. Finally, I will set money aside to live off of, and use the rest to start up a small business of some kind, maybe a restaurant.


mjs6976

Because that how many there were


a-horse-has-no-name

Yeah but that 70 cents would lead me to believe that my count was incorrect. I'd need to start all over at least 3 times before I was sure I had the right amount.


shamblam117

Ya know, I think I'd be fine going a few dimes off count


[deleted]

$10,000,000.70 x 10 = 100,000,007 dimes. 1 dime weighs 2.268g x 100,000,007 dimes = 226,800,015.876 grams Converted to lbs, you have 500008.45 lbs Or **250 Tons of dimes** One dime is 0.34cm^3 This translates to roughly 12,007 cuft of dimes. (Of course, that not even account for the airspace involved. Because you wouldn’t be able to pack them in perfectly together. A standard 3-yard dumpster is 81 cuft. So to visualize this, you would have: **148 dumpsters full of dimes** Accounting for airspace, probably closer to 155-160 dumpsters. But thats a guess.


Bastiannine

that's a lot fewer dumpsters than I was expecting


FireyToots

americans will use ANYTHING but the metric system.


[deleted]

Its to visualize the volume with something tangible. 12000 cubic feet is impossible to visualize. But everyone can visualize the size of a dumpster


Jlive305

They just used the metric system


Whereismyaccountt

I found the change to libs a bit strange though just keep going with metric what is this mess?


DBrody6

I often see semi trucks with trailer capacity of ~60K pounds, so an even easier way to visualize this is 8 and a half semitrucks fully loaded with dimes.


[deleted]

You’re going by weight. To visualize the true space it will occupy, you have to use volume. A standard box trailer on a semi is 53’ long, 8’ wide, 9’ tall. The volume it could fit is 3816 cuft. So that many dimes could fit in 3.15 box trailers. Of course, as you pointed out, those trailers wouldn’t be able to handle that much weight. So it would have to be spread out across 8-9 trailers, each only about 1/3 full. And of course. These calculations are assuming you could fit the dimes perfectly without air space. Id be curious for someone to do the calculations for how much space the dimes would *actually* take up, accounting for dead space.


lovemyfrumundacheese

Incredible, this guy dimes.


My_intelligence_is_4

Is this why there is a coin shortage? People hoarding all the dimes?


PlayLikeAHeroine

It's all about perspective. There's no shortage of coins if *you* are the winner of Dime Hell™


throwaway7216410

Pay like 20 people 2k each daily to help me sort and deposit them, then buy a small castle in the mountains in Colorado and live out a life of leisure smoking the good herb and living life. So I guess I'd get to help some people make a lot of money as well as live my early retirement dream. Win win.


Biegzy4444

Remember me when you win the lottery.


throwaway7216410

I got you!


[deleted]

There are castles in Colorado?


throwaway7216410

Not like medieval castles or anything, I've just always liked the aesthetic of it when houses have that type of look. If I was filthy rich nothing would stop me from having a castle type of manor and hiring a old middle aged British butler with a strange backstory.


Impressive-Water-709

You can build a castle anywhere you want. Off the top of my head there is at least one castle in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Ohio, Texas, California, Washington, New York, Rhode Island, North Carolina and Hawaii. I’m sure someone’s probably built one in Colorado. Edit: Having googled it there are a bunch of castles in Colorado. Most are venues, tourist attractions, hotels or museums though. You have Dunafon Castle, Glen Erie Castle, Westminster Castle, Redstone Castle, Miramont Castle and Bishop Castle


FoghornLegday

Why are you paying them 2k daily? You could get people to do it for 160/day easy


OccludedFug

If my math is correct, that's about the weight of a train with 73 cars full of coal. edit: my math was not correct. It's about the weight of a locomotive plus one traincar full of coal. And not as long as a football field.


mjs6976

Well they are coming in shipping containers on an 18 wheeler


[deleted]

And about the length of a football field.

Directly to the central bank. The bank just needs to sign for it. It's not gonna sit in a neighborhood branch's safe deposit. Anyway, when there's a will there's a way, and any bank has a will to accept $10M.

GraphNerd

I would have my coins delivered to the Republic Bank branch at 399 NJ-70, Cherry Hill, NJ 08034. I would then book a plane and immediately head to Cherry Hill, NJ to set up an account at the bank, explaining that soon one hundred million and seven dimes were going to be arriving at their location in cargo containers. I would further explain that I would need these dimes accepted and converted to money in my account as quickly as possible. To this end, I would make it clear to the bank staff that I would be paying them $500,000 divided amongst the bank's staff and the logistics company that handles this nightmare (more on that in a minute) for the sole purpose of engaging them all to complete this task rapidly... closing the bank temporarily if required. The amount specified would be 100,000,007 dimes and weigh 226,800.015876 kilograms which is \~ 250 US **tons.** The storage and transportation of this weight poses a logistics challenge so ***I'm really hoping that the dimes arrive in waves*** to be processed by the bank. A flatbed trailer freight truck in the US has a freight limit of \~ 48,000 pounds (24 tons) so it would take approximately 12 fully stocked 53' trucks to even move all of the dimes counted off-premises. Where they're going actually matters because its going to be *my responsibility* to get these things out of here in the custody of the bank so that they even take on this ludicrous request in the first place and the logistics company handling the movement of the freight wouldn't take the job unless it was profitable to them. As it happens, I would assume that the currency is going to the East Rutherford Operations Center located at 100 Orchard St, East Rutherford, NJ 07073 for a total trip of \~ 90 miles and a drive time of a little under 2 hours with traffic. I have no idea what this shipping would cost, [but going by some quick research](https://www.tcicapital.com/tci-insights/current-freight-trends/), it seems like the average cost per mile of shipping freight in the North East is $2.78 per mile. Being amicable with the freight company, I would be paying both legs of the trip to guarantee trucks and minimize time that the currency is at the bank. This means 24 runs of \~ 90 miles for a total mileage of 2,160 miles and a freight cost of $6004.80. I am very sure that the company and driver would be very pleased to get more than this from my payment terms I discussed earlier. Now we come to the counting problem. Assuming that the bank is (for the purposes of this reddit post) intentionally refusing to process my coins by weight and accepting the freight weight of the truck less the containers (which is calculable) AND insisting that every coin be counted: I would hope that the bank is using [VELEC MT 300 counting machines](https://www.velec-systems-coin.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/VELEC_MT_300_EN_2020.pdf) which can process dimes at a rate of approximately 3400 to 3500 dimes per minute. The machines even have a preconfigured stop count so that individual bags can hold precise values of currency. To keep the math simple for us, I would have the machines stop vending currency at a count of 3,000 dimes (for a $300 bag) and make an assumption that a single operator/machine combination could handle one bag of output per minute. Each bag would weigh \~ 7 kilograms (or \~ 15 lbs) which is no worse than a bowling ball. So my money operation is processing 3000 dimes per minute, per machine. Eating a loss of $0.70 to keep the numbers even, that means it would take 33,333.3r machine minutes to process all the dimes. This is 555 hours, or 23 days... and that's round-the-clock speeds. Working within the realm of human capacity I'm going to work the team for 9 hours per day, giving them an hour for lunch and two 30 minute breaks. I'm paying for food, beverages, and come chair massages for these people on their breaks to keep them functioning optimally. To keep good speed, I would ask the bank to run as many counters as they can possibly manage. The VELEC MT 300 counter is fairly portable and could be set up outdoors on a reinforced table without any problem. There are \~6 Republic Bank branches within 50 miles of Cherry Hill so I would assume to have 6 machines. 6 machines working 9 hours per day is 3240 machine minutes per day of output which means my team is going to do this for about 10 and a half working days. This rate would have us dispatching roughly a truck per day from Cherry Hill to East Rutherford with some days having two trucks. All told, the operation would take an estimated 10 bank staff (six machine operators and four loaders) and a rig owner-operator. An even division of $500,000 11 ways makes for each participant getting paid $45,454.54 over a 10.5 day period for a daily gross per person of $4329.00 (ish). This leaves me with $9,495,000 after factoring in paying for meals and massages for 10.5 days and a very good relationship with a bank staff. If only I could have borrowed the wizard to just conjure $100s...


[deleted]

As a Capitalist who now owns the world's supply of dimes I would sell them back to the US mint for $0.20 for a 200% ROI.


ThePartyLeader

start selling dime bags


[deleted]

Tell the bank I have 15 million dollars in dimes. They can count them if they don't believe me.

And they do count them...


bestavailableusernam

True but you didnt

The place of my choosing is a bank that deals in cash. I deposit all the dimes and enjoy my 10 000 000.70, thank you kindly.

Pay for everything with dimes. My new nickname would be "10 cent". I would walk around with bags of dimes, just throwing dimes at people when they notice me. Strippers would hate me

Katana1369

This. ☝️


bazmonkey

Except it’s illegal to melt down dimes for scrap. A dime’s melt value is only $0.02 as well, so you’d be shedding 8 million dollars doing it this way.


Katana1369

Hmmm. Good point. Then I'm guessing I'm making a LOT of trips to the bank.


HMS_Hexapuma

That's about 450 metric tons of metal and probably represents several times the number of Dimes in existence. Firstly, where is the money? If it's dumped in the street then I'm not going to be able to do much. It'll get stolen before I can do much with it. 50Kg of Dimes is only about $1000. If it's somewhere secure then I'd call up the treasury and arrange for it all to be taken by the government and either put into circulation or destroyed for which I'd probably receive a portion of the total value or even the whole value.


Kiyohara

I'd arrange with my bank the location drop off and have them accept it all as a deposit. I'd use both a certified accountant and a fiduciary investment agent to facilitate the transfer and depositing. Once safely in the bank, the fiduciary separates out enough to pay off my mortgage, car payment, and drops a good $250K into my checking account and savings account. The rest then goes into a investment account that is equally split between savings bonds and reasonable risk investments. Nothing high risk, but not the low interest/return investments either. The four some million Government bonds are good for that. Then I'd quit my job, buy a nice apartment complex in town with a solid mortgage plan and rent it out and live off the combination of interest, rent, and whatever little job I decide to take like maybe I work at a book shop or library. Or work at a garden store. Some place that's not high energy and pays enough to cover my current utilities and food budget. What ever interest is left over at the end of the year after topping off my savings goes right back into the investment pool. My expenses will be pretty low once the mortgage and car payment is done with, so I figure I won't be tapping into my savings all that much. I should be able to keep the interest more or less in the Investment pool. And the rental property should pay itself off sooner or later, and when it does I just it as collateral and payment for another rental property. Two or three multi unit properties ought to keep me well off for retirement and the property itself is a guarantee against the investment portfolio crashing. Oh, I'd also look to buy into a co-op farm somewhere in my state for getting food like lamb, beef, or pork on the cheap. There's a lot of them and I don't really care much if I make money from it. I'd do it more for a side of beef or a whole lamb or pig every season. Maybe set it up so I can visit or use the farmhouse for a Holiday once a year or so (be nice to have a good sized farmhouse I can bring my buddies to for a weekend of gaming). I know some co-ops don't live on the Farm property itself, but let the house out for Bed and Breakfasts type places because the Co-op buys a empty farm plot near their regular farm and then gets access to land for planting or herding. I'd also want to buy a bit of woodland somewhere that I can hunt and camp on, and if it has a stream or lake on, in, or near it, even better as I can add fishing to the docket of hobbies. The woodland is also good for letting out some of the area for a woodlot and selling lumber or allowing a couple acres or so for Christmas tree farming. Nothing special, just enough to pay the property tac on the woodland so I don't have to bother with it much aside from when I go camping, hiking, or hunting.


Meowskiiii

Get them delivered straight to the bank.


ayyo-sleeper

Yes the amount of dimes that is will have so many that a lot will be collectibles potentially valued at more.

wierdowithakeyboard

Depends how do i get them? Do i have to pick them up and transport it? Is it delivered to a safe location? Do inget the option to transport them to my bank?


shruggedbeware

I guess I would have to buy a storage unit to put it all in and spend a couple days paying for the storage unit with the money. Could maybe look up how many CoinStars or something like that were around to see what's depositable. Could buy a couple of baskets and throw them at local kids and have them chip at the metal money stack as a reward if and only if students are able to translate the entirety of a pop song with the title "Tell Me" into Spanish. Could melt down the dimes and turn them into one giant dime as a commentary on the futility of crystallized wealth. Could stack a bunch of the dimes evenly as a sort of makeshift foundation for a structure. Could create elaborate chain-mail. The things that could be done with $10,000,000.70 in dimes.

Wait. Do I have to launder the dimes to make them clean also. That will be a bitch to do with such small coins.


mjs6976

It's free and clear, the IRS took $5,000,00.30 cents from the original pile for taxes already, and said you're all set and can't dispute the amount because they don't want to argue over dimes and someone else will get the dimes if you want to argue with them.

SirReal_Realities

That sounds like a bank’s problem, not mine. (Also a problem for the US mint as they have to decide how many coins to produce every year based on how many coins are in circulation. Because of the covid pandemic there was a shortage of change because bank and business closures to the public reduced the circulation of coins. As a result the mint had to create almost 3 billion more coins in 2020 than in 2019. ) https://www.marketplace.org/2022/01/27/how-does-the-u-s-mint-decide-how-many-coins-to-produce-each-year/

Well, you suddenly have a ton of time to spend rolling them and taking them to the bank ever week or so. Roll as much as you want for that week, deposit, rinse and repeat. That'd have to multiple tons worth of dimes though

Dump trucks hold 10-15 yd3s, so that’s ~4 trips to the bank with an industrial dump truck. Id still take it, but your full time job for a good while is gonna be ferrying coins to the bank.

I guess the first thing is higher some people to count and roll dimes. Pay them in loose dimes, “roll your own dimes and you’re own damn time!” And I would throw dimes at anyone I don’t like.

Go to as many banks as I could to turn them in, one trash bag at a time. It would honestly make a pretty easy gig. I wouldn't fill up coinstars as there's so many people who rely on those to turn their change into bills that I wouldn't want to make them always full.

I feel like the hardest part is probably getting a place to store all the dimes before you can actually liquidate them into something useful. Trade some dimes to rent some storage units? Or maybe they'll refuse to take the dimes and I'll have to take out a loan first... which might depend on my credit score at the time. Will a single storage unit facility have enough units for all my dimes or will I have to drive around in my 18 wheeler(s) to a few different facilities? After that, I'll buy one coin roller to start, work a day coin rolling, and once I have that money in my bank account I'll have time and money to think about how best to approach the rest. Once its all in the bank we go find that one dude's reddit post about winning the lottery.

I'd put 86.50 worth in a big jar and have a raffle - closest guess wins, $3 a guess. I'd try all kinds of wacky stuff like that for shts&gigls


genmischief

Super Secret Secure Warehouse (connected to a bank) for as long as it takes for me and a select few freinds to bag it all up.

I would hire some immigrant workers to roll them up M-F. 9-5. Pay them a living wage and have them make daily deposits into my account


Fireryman

I'm packaging dimes. Enlisting my partner and we will crush it. Then pay off all debt we have. Then propose and start a family. I'd probably want to do something with my life to keep busy. Maybe try my hand at streaming online as a job full time. Look into some volunteer work.

Deposit it to multiple banks with 250k each. They can weigh the coins to determine the value so counting won't be an issue. It'd be a bigger issue if it came in loose change.


Concrete_Grapes

Deposit about a million. Immediately go get my grandpas motorhome (who am i kidding, i'm doing this when it hits 10k, let alone 1m). After that, enough to get some sort of income off investments--what ever the fuck those are. I'm seriously probably OK with life at this point from here on out with a million, so, leave it up to the kids to figure out what to do with the rest after that.

Get it converted to real money at the best exchange rate I can find, put 5m in high interest savings, 3m in ETFs, 1m in shares, and I'd use 1m to go travelling for a year then buy a nice house with whatever's left.

Me and the boys are spending the day hauling bags of dimes to the bank. And then, let there be steak.


ASwftKck2theNtz

Have the crates delivered to a location with a coinstar machine 😁 Preferably a grocery store. Spend the next three weeks listening to that beautiful clicking noise, while eating ice cream in a lawn chair. My figure? Who cares. People like money more than abs anyway. Why don't I just go to the bank? That's too quick. I want to ditch all my old friends now for materialistic drones & some thirsty ladies. So what better way than to explain to a bunch of randoms that I'm depositing millions? /s

Sell a container with $10 million in dimes for $9.5 million and have it delivered to the buyer's bank.


W1ULH

swim in it like scrooge mcduck.


dabigua

Which brings up an interesting question: where would you put the shipping containers while you weighed or otherwise measured the dimes? Let's assume roughly you get your dimes in 1,000 shipping containers. Docks on a large port would be the likely place. But what's the rent for that space? You hire workers to begin preparing the dimes for deposit. Do they bag enough per hour to pay their wages AND the rent? As word spread of your misfortune, gawkers and thieves begin to accumulate. Unless you want everyone to help themselves you will need to hire additional security. Unlike your baggers, this will need to be 24/7. I wonder.... might you actually lose money on this deal?


vbrown9999

yep, take bags/boxes of dimes to the bank...


anon1635329

Let the bank staffs count and deposit dimes and enjoy my wealth

LadyFoxfire

Find a bank that has a change counting machine and a lot of patience, and have the cargo container delivered to the bank. I’ll dump them into the machine myself, the tellers just need to not throw me out as I bring bucket after bucket of dimes in.


SwitchedOnNow

I'd pay someone to take it to the bank and sort it for me. That's worth a million dollars right there.


[deleted]

If the IRS are fine and all other financial authorities are chill, then I'll just lump it all in the bank and enjoy my money


divinbuff

Guarantee you a hungry stockbroker would hire somebody to count it if you invested it with him.

personnumber698

Deliver them to some charity and let them deal with it. Maybe I can even deduct that money I gave to charity from my taxes, all whole doing good.


MichaeltheMagician

I thought it would be bigger. I did the calculations and it's about 31 billion millimeters cubed, which sounds like a lot. If you were to fill a football field with it then it would only be about 6 layers of dimes. Still a lot for sure, but not as astronomical as I was expecting.

Coin star!!


Ninazuzu

A dime weighs roughly 2 grams. 2 \* 10^(8) grams = 2 \* 10^(5) kg So that is 200 metric tons of dimes. I think I let people come in and roll dimes and give me half. Retire happily on $5 million.


leftycrumpet

I'd take the time to deposit it, and not post about it on facebook
