Best Answer

It depends how many pennies is in a pound of pennies.


1.482 dollars


Correction and Explanation

Assuming you have US cents minted after 1982, they weigh 2.5 grams each. There are 453.6 grams in a standard pound, so that means a pound of pennies consists of 453.6/2.5 = 181.44 coins, or a bit more than $1.81
If the coins are dated before 1982 they weigh 3.11 grams each so a pound would be 453.6/3.11 = 145.8 cents, or about $1.46

Unless I'm mistaken, pennies minutes after 1982 contain zero copper.
