Guess my haul to the coin machine and win what was rejected!

Took my change jar to the credit union today. Actually I had sorted the contents from the jar into four vinyl bank zipper pouches. One pouch had cents, one had nickels and dimes, one had quarters, and one had dollars (small - not Eisenhower).

Person nearest the total dollar amount as the machine counted it wins what was rejected - a thrashed 'war nickel' and two 40% silver quarters! (Awesome, I know).

One guess per person, to the nearest cent. Please do not revise your post/guess.

Clues:
- Total weight on my digital bathroom scale was 44 pounds. It's pretty accurate. This includes the zipper bags.
- There were 1,325 cents.
- There were more quarters than anything else.
- There were no half dollars - only cents, nickels, dimes, quarters, and dollars.
- There were more dollars than dimes, but there were more dimes AND nickels than dollars.
- Total coin count was 4,216.

I'll post the result with a scan of the deposit slip (which breaks it down by denomination) at the end of the contest.

Ends Monday evening at 6:00 PM West Coast time.

Good luck!

By weight, by count, or by face value?

Do you mean "more quarters than any other single category of coins", "more in the quarters bag than in any of the other bags", or "more quarters than all the other coins put together"?

Sorry, I've got to do this "requirements clarification" all the time at work, and it's hard to stop...

There were more quarters than any other single denomination, by count. So for example there might have been 50 quarters, 15 dollars, 10 dimes, 5 nickels, and 49 cents.

I can't answer "more in the quarters bag than in any of the other bags", or "more quarters than all the other coins put together" without giving clues that would others who have guessed/calculated at a disadvantage.

I hope that's more clear. BTW there are some excellent guesses here... I'm a little surprised.
