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.
