      $50,000 / 52 = $961.54 a week for a year.

      $961.54 * 10 = 9,615.38 dimes per week.

      50 dimes per roll. 192.3076 rolls.

      Each roll weighs 8.8 ounces. 1,692.30688 ounces. 105.77 pounds of dimes a week.

      From the article:

      The indictment unsealed Friday alleges that after the theft, thousands of dimes were converted into cash at coin machines in Maryland or through deposits to at least four different suburban Philadelphia banks, the newspaper reported.

      Well if you’re already committing crimes you might as well melt them down and sell the metal. You’ll probably get more for it.
