About 25 dollars

CorrectionIt depends on when the pennies were made, assuming you're referring to US cents. Cents made since 1982 weigh 2.5 gm each, so there are about 181 modern pennies in a pound. That means 5 lbs would have a face value of about $9.50.

Older cents weighed 3.11 gm so there were about 146 in a pound, with a face value of roughly $7.30

Of course if any of them are collectible than they could be worth more than 1 cent each, and the whole question changes a lot.

There are 453.592 grams in a pound, so 5 pounds would be 2267.96 grams. A penny weighs 2.5 grams, so 5 pounds of pennies would be equivalent to 907.184 pennies. Therefore, 5 pounds of pennies would be worth $9.07.

Well honey, if we're talking about U.S. pennies, each one weighs approximately 2.5 grams. So, 5 pounds of pennies would be around 2,268 pennies. Multiply that by 1 cent each, and you've got yourself a whopping $22.68. Not bad for a bunch of small, copper coins, huh?
