About Coin Counter Calculator

Counting a coin jar means multiplying each denomination by its count and summing. The average value per coin is a useful sanity check — a jar dominated by coppers averages a few pence, while one with pound coins averages far more.

Formula

Coin total

total = sum of (count x denomination value)

Assumptions and limits

The result is derived only from the 4 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
Figures are rounded for display to 3 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do banks want coins bagged by denomination?

Bags have fixed values per denomination, which lets the bank verify by weight rather than counting. Mixed bags are usually refused.

Do coin machines charge a fee?

Supermarket coin machines commonly take 8-12%. Bagging and depositing at a bank is free but requires sorting.
