Best Answer

2.75 tons

One penny weighs 2.500g (http://www.usmint.gov/faqs/circulating_coins/index.cfm?flash=yes&action=faq_circulating_coin), so one million pennies weigh 2.500*1,000,000 = 2.5 million g, or 2500 kg. Approximately 2.2 pounds is one kilogram, so one million pennies weigh 2500*2.2 = 5,500 pounds. One ton equals 2000 pounds, so divide 5,500 by 2 for the answer, 2.75 tons.
