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.
