...but only a penny more!
Well, isn't that just a happy little question! You see, even though a pound of pennies and a kilogram of pennies may sound different, they actually weigh the same amount. The only difference is that a kilogram is a metric measurement while a pound is an imperial measurement. So, whether you have a pound or a kilogram of pennies, they are both worth the same amount - filled with endless possibilities and potential for creating something beautiful.
It would all depend on the mix. If you had 180 pounds of pennies and the other 10 pounds were nickels, dimes and quarters that would be worth a lot LESS THAN if you had 180 pounds of quarters and the other 10 pounds were pennies, nickels and dimes.
They really aren't. When a coin first comes out in the year, there is a rush for collectors to buy them for their collection or as birthday/Christmas gifts for people. Because of this, generally the current year is "worth" more than the previous year because most of the coin collectors have already gotten the previous year's coins but might not have the current year's coins. It is a temporary increase and when the 2012 coins start coming out, the 2011 coins will not be worth a premium any more.More ...The answer to this grade-school joke is that 2,011 pennies are worth $20.11 but 2,010 pennies are worth one cent less.
Assuming you mean U.S. cents and not British pennies, there are many that are worth more than a dollar. You can look at any number of price guides for lists. One good portal link can be found in the Related Links section to the right, titled "Coin Club: Prices." As you'll see, most cents in current circulation are worth just that - one cent. You have to stumble across something other than what comes out of most pocket change these days to find anything more valuable.
