You can get a stack of pennies, measure the height of the stack and then divide by the number of pennies. You can also get the thickness by treating the penny as a cylinder, calculating the area of the face of the penny, then putting a whole lot of them in water, measuring the change of volume to get the total volume of all pennies, then divide by the number of pennies and divide again by the area of the penny to get the thickness.

How thick is .002 inches?
.002 inches is equivalent to 0.002/12 feet, which is approximately 0.0001667 feet. To convert this to millimeters, you would multiply by 304.8, resulting in approximately 0.0508 millimeters. Therefore, .002 inches is equivalent to about 0.0508 millimeters in thickness.
What diameter is an 8 penny nail?
8d (eight penny) nails are made from 10 1/4 gauge (oh how I detest those English/American standards!) steel wire.10 1/4 gauge wire has a diameter of 0.131 inches or 3.33 millimeters (metric - I can relate to that!).
Meters and millimeters?
1 meter = 1000 millimeters 1 millimeter = 0.001 meter
How many pennies does it take to build a tower that is 1 cm tall?
To calculate the number of pennies needed to build a tower 1 cm tall, we first need to determine the volume of a single penny. A typical penny has a diameter of 19.05 mm and a thickness of 1.52 mm, resulting in a volume of approximately 4.55 cubic mm. To convert this to cubic cm, we divide by 1000, yielding 0.00455 cubic cm per penny. Since the tower is 1 cm tall, we would need approximately 220 pennies (1 cm / 0.00455 cm) to build a tower of that height.
Change meters to millimeters?
1 meter = 1000 millimeters 1 millimeter = 0.001 meter
