Depends on the dates.
Before 1982, Lincoln cents were 95% copper and weighed 3.11 gm.
After 1982, Lincoln cents are 2.5% copper and weigh 2.50 gm.
A pound is 453.6 gm so figure out how much copper is in each type of cent and divide into 453.6.
240 copper pennies equal a pound.
About 181 pennies per pound.
One modern cent weighs 2.5 grams and contains 2.5% copper, which is 0.0625 grams or about 0.000138 lbs of copper per penny. To get one full pound of copper, it would take 7,246 pennies.
100 pennies equals a pound in the current decimal system. Before 1971, a pound sterling was divided into 240 pence.
There are 100 pennies in a pound. Therefore, 1000000 pennies is equal to 1000000/100 = 10000 pounds.

In 1 pound of pre-1982 copper pennies, there are approx 448 grams of weight. Knowing that a copper pre-82 penny weighs 3.11 grams, simply divide the approx 448 grams in 1 pound by the individual penny weight of 3.11grams. The answer to"how many copper pennies does it take to make a pound" is this.It would take 144.05144 copper pennies to weight 1 pound........give or take a couple.One copper cent weighs 3.11 grams, and one pound is 453.59 grams. Do the math, and it comes out to 146 copper cents per pound.
One modern cent weighs 2.5 grams and contains 2.5% copper, which is 0.0625 grams or about 0.000138 lbs of copper per penny. To get one full pound of copper, it would take 7,246 pennies.

100 pennies equals a pound in the current decimal system. Before 1971, a pound sterling was divided into 240 pence.
There are 100 pennies in a pound. Therefore, 1000000 pennies is equal to 1000000/100 = 10000 pounds.
145 pennies (pre 1982) 181 (1982 and beyond). 1982 and newer pennies contain mostly zinc and pre 1982 pennies are 95% copper. Some 1982 pennies are 95% copper but not all so if you're buying for copper content stick with pre 1982 to be on the safe side. The above mentioned is pennies in a pound. to figure out pennies "in a pound of copper you must multiply "for pre 1982" 145 X 95% "copper content. Since your 5% short of copper per penny you multiply 145 X 5% to get 7.25. Add 145 to 7.25 to get 152.25 pre 1982 pennies in a pound of copper.If you mean how many pennies can you make from one pound of copper the answer is:There is 2,5% copper in the penny (the rest is mostly zinc)so you need 40 pounds of pennies to have one pound of copper.Each penny weighs 0,080 troy ounces40 pounds is 583,33 troy ounces (see why I like the metric system?)583,3 / 0,8 = 7291.66...About 7293 pennies (almost seventy three dollars in pennies)(some will be used and have corroded if that makes a difference... I do not know)
There are 100 Pence in the current British Pound. There were 240 Pence in the predecimal British Pound.
If the Pennies are from 1983 to Present, then roughly 181 pennies.If the Pennies are from 1982 and earlier, the roughly 146 pennies.There can be a couple ways to look at it.

Modern pennies contain very little copper and are about 97% Zinc.1 pound = 453.59237 gramsMath453.59/2.5 = 181453.59/3.1 = 146__Over 1,000 years ago when the British Penny was first minted, they were made from gold. 240 Pennies weighed one pound, which is why the British Pound came to be known as the Pound.
