A Ton of Money
Phrase which is used in informal style, mostly slang language and means an immense sum of money. This term arises in various definitions from what is exactly a large amount of money.
According to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, a ton of bank notes at par value of one United States Dollar is equal to 908 000 USD – about $1 million.
In coins thereafter it is different.
The official weight of contemporary U.S. quarters as the US Mint confirms are 5.67 grams so one ton of money will value 40 thousand United States Dollars.
And concerning pennies (at 2.5 grams each – it counts 363 000 pennies) a ton of these coins will be worth only 3 632 USD.
