Density, volume and displacement?

Canadian 10� and 25� coins are made of pure nickel which has a density of 8.902 g/cm3. Suppose each dime weighs 2.06 g and each quarter weighs 5.15 g. A small collection of dimes and quarters are submerged in 10.00 mL of water in a graduated cylinder causing the water level to rise to the 16.13 mL mark. What is the combined monetary value (in Can$) of those coins?
