I would like to know how much would 6,000,000 pennies weigh and how much space would it take up? If they were all rolled in the standard roll of 50 pennies per roll.

You would have 120,000 rolls
Each roll is about 1" in diameter and 3" long
So, the rolls (placed side by side) would spread out 120,000 inches which is 2.25 miles (give or take).

Each penny weighs 2.5 grams, so 6 million pennies would weight 15 million grams. To convert grams to U.S. pounds, multiply by 0.00220462 which gives you 33,066 lbs. Then you'd have to add the weight of the empty rolls to get a total (gross) weight.

Well, one penny weighs 2.5g, and 2.5g x 6 million is 15000kg. An it would take up about 120,000 rolls of pennies. This would also be 6 thousand dollars.

Depends on how much one penny weighs.

A penny weighs 2.35 grams so 6 million pennies would weigh 14,100,000 grams (or 31,085.179 pounds)
