It would depend on the penny. If you figure that copper pennies were no longer minted after 1982 and that pennies tend to wear away through normal day to day use, 2 copper pennies probably wouldn't weigh the same.

Hail Caesar! Sounds like a school thing. Drag your butt down to the science lab, ask to use the SCALE and then measure out the weight of one (two ounces would be more accurate) ounce of pennies. Multiply the number of pennies by the correct factor-the number of ounces in a pound-and you will have your answer. Not rocket science.

According to US mint each penny weights 2.5 grams, which will make about 182 pennies to weight one pound.

well for the newer pennys....at 2.5 grams each (average weight) 182....remember now our pennys are aluminum with a copper plating rather than the older ones which were only copper....

mass of a penny= 2.35 grams/penny
1 lb = .454 kg
1 lb * ( .454 kg/ 1 lb) * (1000 g/ 1kg) * (1 penny/ 2.35 g) = 193.20 pennies
so approximately 193 pennies.
