1 Penny = 1/10 of an ounce
10 Pennies = 1 Ounce
Since 16 ounces = 1 pound
160 Pennies = 1 Pound
10 Pennies = one ounce times 16 ounces = 160 pennies
160 x 26 = 4160 Total pennies
160 times 26 Pounds = 4160 total pennies
Convert 4160 to the dollar amound divide 4160 by 100 equal $ 41.60
The answer is $ 41,60

Ever weigh a dollar bill? It's less than a pound, but 26 pounds of dollar bills is equal to 26 pounds of pennies (of course!).

Officially, a penny weighs 2.5 grams.
(26 lbs) × (0.4536 kg / lb) × (1000 g / kg) × (1 ¢ / 2.5 g) = $47.17
Of course, that's the weight of shiny-new clean pennies fresh from the mint. Pennies in circulation will become dirty, and the dirt that's on the pennies will add to their weight, diminishing the number (and thus the total value) of the coins. I'd say $45.00 would be a good ballpark figure.

26 pounds converted to ounces is 416 ounces (26 pounds x 16 ounces in a pound=416 ounces)
a penny weighs 1/10 of an ounce (0.1 ounces) (See http://www.kokogiak.com/megapenny/1.asp for the weight of a penny)
That means 416 ounces of pennies is comprised of 4160 pennies (416 ounces x 10 pennies per ounce=4160 pennies or 416 ounces divided by 0.1, the weight of a penny is also 4160 pennies)
4160 pennies are worth $41.60 (There are 100 pennies to a dollar so 4160 divided by 100=$41.60)

the weight of a penny depends on which country it came from
and which materials were used when it was made.
