...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.
About 25 dollarsCorrectionIt 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 $7.30Of course if any of them are collectible than they could be worth more than 1 cent each, and the whole question changes a lot.
it wasnt made out of the same materials it takes 1.7 cents to make 1 penny true factNOT a "true fact"Since mid-1982 all US cents have been made from the same material, copper-plated zinc. This question is a mis-reading of an elementary-school joke, "Why are 2006 pennies worth less than 2007 pennies?". The answer is that 2,006 pennies are worth $20.06 but 2,007 pennies are worth 1 cent more. ba DING!
Two thousand and seven pennies are worth more than two thousand and six pennies. Its just common math. Because 2007 pennies are more than 2006 pennies for the fact that its simply one more. As in $20.07and $20.08. because according to today's economic system in the U.S 2007 was the last year befor the recessin thus making them worth more there is one penny extra if there are 2007 pennies than 2006 pennies They costed more to make in 2007 than in 2006. Duh. it depends on which way you look at it, if you say two thousand and seven pennies are worth more than two thousand and six pennies, then its math, but technicaly as prices in the world are going up and down, other things will be cheaper, say you had 2p, and there are 2p sweats, you can buy one, but your penny becomes worth more if the price goes down to 1p then you can buy two!!!! Because it is 2,007 vs. 2,006 the person who typed the stuff above doesnt get it... the person who asked the question, is talking about the year 2007 not the number 2,007.. ( well I think the person who asked the question is talking about the year) i am the person who wrote this Q i am Voleyballgirl i am talking about $$$ not the year A new answer: If you are talking about US cents, I do not know of any reason why a 2007 cent should be worth anymore than a 2006 cent. Both have the same melt value (actual value of the metals contained in them) of $0.0038663 cents as of June 22, 2009. Both have the same composition and the same weight. They are the same except for the date.
1908 pennies Cents from 1908 have a collector value of at least 75¢, probably more. 1960 cents are made of copper but are so common that they aren't worth more than maybe 2 or 3 cents unless they're uncirculated. Cents made from mid-1982 to today are copper-coated zinc and are worth 1 to 1.5 cents as scrap. Besides, it's illegal to melt them. NOTE: This question is a typically a trick question. Consider that the year numbers are actually just numerical values, since there is no part of question that specifically states the numbers are years. In that case, two-thousand and seven (2007) pennies are worth $20.07; more than 1908 pennies which are only worth $19.08. Each penny is only worth a cent.
Two pennIes
They're not.
They are worth more because less were minted.
1960 pennies are worth more. Wrong!.... 2008 are worth more... its about quantity not YEAR Clever. But I would point out that the 1990 pennies would probably be worth the most due to the fact that they contain more copper =)
The 1949 Australian pennies are worth more than 50 United States Dollars.
To determine which is worth more, we need to calculate the total value of each set of coins. 25,723 dimes would be worth 25,723 * $0.10 = $2,572.30. 231,524 pennies would be worth 231,524 * $0.01 = $2,315.24. Therefore, 25,723 dimes are worth more than 231,524 pennies.
Because $2,007 is greater than $2,006.
Because there are no 1967 pennies. Decimal currency started in 1966.Actually, 1966 pennies should be worth more than 1967 pennies as a 1967 penny would be a fake.CorrectionThis question was posted in US Coins so it refers to US 1-cent pieces by their slang name. It's actually a rather lame joke. The answer is (ba DING!) "1,967 pennies are worth $19.67 which is one cent more than $19.66"
The copper in a US cent made before 1982 is worth almost 2 cents. Those made after 1982 are worth much less than 1 cent (but the cost of producing them is about 1.5 cents). Both types were made in 1982. But before you start sorting your pre- and post 1982 pennies, you should know that there is an administrative order prohibiting the "melting or exporting of large numbers of one and 5 cent coins" which could result in a fairly large fine.
