When pennies were made out of copper, the rule of thumb was $1.47 worth of pennies weighed a pound.At $1.47 a pound times 17 pounds, the pennies would be worth $24.99.More informationOnly two principal alloy changes have been made over the last 150 years: From 1864 to 1982 US cents were made of bronze (95% copper) except for 1943, when they were struck in steel due to wartime shortages. Bronze cents weigh 3.11 gm each, so the number of those coins in one American pound (453.6 gm) is 453.6/3.11 = 145.85 coinsSince 1982 cents have been made of copper-plated zinc and weigh 2.5 gm so the number of new cents in a pound is 453.6/2.5 = 181.44 coins.Multiply those by 17 for the answer:> Bronze cents: 145.85 x 17 = 2,479 cents or $24.79> zinc cents: 181.44 x 17 = 3,084 cents or $30.84

The cost of minting them. Today's pennies are zinc (cheap) coated with a copper wash, and still cost more to make than they are worth.
All 1941 pennies are made of bronze which is mostly copper.
Verry few most likely less than 100
Since 1982, US pennies have been made of zinc with a thin copper coating. The specific percentages are 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper.
Pre-1982 pennies are made of bronze, which is 95% copper plus 5% tin and/or zinc. Post-1982 pennies are zinc with a thin coating of copper.
Look through the change in his pocket, among the silver dimes and quarters and grey nickels there will be bronze pennies.. If you mean "penis" then you will have to take his pants off.
No. All 20th century British predecimal Pennies were made from bronze. If you have a gold Penny, it is because somebody has plated it, perhaps for the birth of a child or some similar memorable occasion. Modified coins have no collector value.
