What_is_the_diameter_of_a_US_penny says that the diameter of a penny is 19.05 mm by 1.55 mm high.
For every four pennies stacked side by side in a line, 3 inches of space is taken up. You can then figure this out with simple math and trial and error. There is probably a more complicated formula that can be used, but this is how I did it:
4(n) by 4 (n) = 3 (n) by 3 (n) gives you the size of your square in terms of both pennies and inches
1,000,000,000 / 4(n) by 4 (n) = 3 (n) by 3 (n) gives you how many rows of pennies you would need to have to lay out 1,000,000,000 pennies, or y.
Multiply the number of rows by the height, or 1.55 mm * y and you know how tall your cube is, or z. The size of your cube is then is 3 (n) by 3 (n) by z.
To answer your question, 1,000,000,000 pennies, if you were to lay them out in a square of 800 by 800 pennies and build a cube by repeating this process, the cube would be 50'L x 50'W x 8'H. A good visual for this is to go stand in a two-car garage and imagine 4.5 of those full of pennies, or look at a single-story house floor plan for 2,500 square feet (usually about 3-4 bedrooms) and imagine filling it up with pennies (flat ceiling heights are commonly 8' in the US).

How Many Pennies in a thousand?
I am assuming you mean how many pennies are in a thousand dollars. To do this you simply take a thousand (1,000) and multiplying it by one hundred (pennies in a dollar, 100). By doing that, you get 100,000 pennies to equal $1,000.
How many pennies does it take to make 1 million dollars?
I think that you can use simple math for this question. For Example, it takes 10 pennies to make 10 cents or a dime. It would take 50 pennies to make 50 cents or 2 quarters. It would take 100 pennies to make 1 dollar bill and 500 pennies to make 5 dollars As we continue on this upward scale 20,000 pennies would make 200 dollars. 100,000 pennies would make 1000 dollars. 500,000 pennies would make it 5000 dollars. Do you see this trend? So if we know that 100 pennies equal 1 dollar then 1,000,000 multiplied by 100 pennies will give me a product of 1 x 10^8 or 100,000,000 or 1 million dollars. 100,000,000

How much money is ten trillion pennies?
Ten trillion pennies would be equal to $100 billion. To calculate this, you would divide the number of pennies by 100 to convert them to dollars. So, 10,000,000,000,000 pennies divided by 100 equals $100,000,000,000, or $100 billion.
