The US penny may have a different mass depending on the minted year.
If we assume a penny mass of 2.5 grams, then we can calculate the number of pennies to make a pound.
454 g = 1 pound ( mass vs weight , but OK)
454 g / 2.5 g = 181.6 pennies
so use 182 pennies

It depends on which penny and which pound.
180 US pennies = 1 dollar 80 cents = 1 GB pound sterling approximately, depending on your exchange rate.
Another answer has told you 182 US pennies = 1 pound avoirdupois - it is interesting that it's so close.
100 new GB pennies = 1 GB pound sterling.
127.4 new GB pennies = 1 pound avoirdupois.
240 old GB pennies = 1 GB pound sterling
48 old GB pennies (1860-1970) = 1 pound avoirdupois.

Add more details for your definition of a pound. Do you mean 16 ounces or a form of English currency?

240 old pennies (copper) = £1
100 new pence = £1
OR
16oz = 24 old pennies @ 0.6631 oz
16oz = 126 new pence @ 0.1269 oz
