I assume that by Big Ben you mean the clock tower at the Palace of Westminster rather than just the main bell.
The tower is 96.3 meters tall or 96300mm.
A two pence coin has a width of approximately 2mm
A stack of 48150 coins would therefore reach the top of Big Ben.

I estimate about 650,000 based on the height of Big Ben and the size of a 2p coin.

(height to top of big ben) divided by (the height of one 2 -pence coin) = number of 2-pence coins required.
