Cents weigh different amounts depending on their dates.

Before 1982, cents weighed 3.11 grams. Cents issued after 1982 weigh 2.5 grams. Cents issued DURING 1982 could weigh either amount (is this getting complicated enough?)

A pound is equivalent to 453.6 gm, So with pennies made before 1982 it would take 146 pennies to get 454.6 grams...

With pennies made after 1982 it would take 182 pennies.

How many pennies are in a pound?

In one pound there is 452 penniesAnswer:Incorrect: I'm sure you know there are 100 pennies in a pound.Yes, No, Maybe:It depends on whether the the question refers to British pennies or American cents (almost always called pennies, too) and whether "pound" refers to a unit of weight or the monetary unit. Without knowing exactly what's being asked, it's not possible to give a specific answer. Ans:Well, I take your point, and I know terms such as this are international... but I still feel the most likely meaning here would be units of British money. Really, the question should, if talking about units of weight in imperial measurement, say "how many pennies would weigh approximately 1lb?"

Does a pound of feathers weigh more than a pound of iron what truly is the difference between the two?

No, a pound of feathers and a pound of iron weigh the same, as they both weigh one pound. The difference between the two is their density and composition - feathers are less dense and made of organic material, while iron is a denser metal.
