Assuming all dimes weighs 2.268 grams (factoring out loss of material over the years, and not including that dimes back in the day were made of more silver than they are now), 453.592 grams divide by 22.268 grams = 199.99647 dimes per pound. Multiply that by 10 pounds and you get 1999.9647 dimes, or $200 worth.
Approx 200 make a pound. 2000 dimes would be about ten pounds.
