What wheat pennies are valued more than one cent?
All wheat pennies, regardless of year are worth at least 3 cents if the date is readable. Some wheat pennies though, are worth quite a bit more. For instance, the 1909 S VDB penny is worth several hundred dollars even in worn condition and so is the 1914 D penny. However, a 1909 S VDB penny in pristine condition could be worth thousands of dollars. In general, the older the wheat penny the more valuable it is. For example, most wheat pennies dated in the 1940s-1950s aren't that valuable, but wheat pennies dated in the teens and twenties are worth a lot more.
How much are 10lb of pennies worth?
If you are asking about the numismatic value then it would depend upon the dates, mint marks and condition of each coin. If you are asking about the metal value of 10 lbs of pennies, the value would depend upon the dates on the pennies since some pennies are made of mostly copper and some are made of mostly zinc. Answer: The present US cent weighs 2.5 g, 10 pounds is the same as 4540 g so the number of all new present date US cent coins would be 4540/2.5/100 = $18.16
Are pennies worth more than 1 cent?
It depends on a lot of factors. Modern cents are only worth face value, and even wheat cents from the 1940s and 1950s tend to be worth a nickel or so, simply because so many were made. But if you go back earlier than that, some US cents can be moderately to extremely valuable - for example, a 1914-D cent can be worth hundreds of dollars, and some very old Large Cents can be worth many thousands. But the bottom line is that unless you know a coin's date, mint mark, and condition it's almost impossible to assign a value sight-unseen.

If you want to know what it is worth in some other currency you need to specify two things:the country whose penny you want the value for (there are many), andthe country in whose currency you want the value.And it is not enough to say cents or dollars or pesos because there are very many countries whose currencies are called cents, dollars or pesos.
Are pennies with leaves on back worth more than regular pennies?
It depends on the details on the reverse. If the design resembles two stalks of wheat, you have what is known as a "wheat cent." These were minted between 1909 and 1958. Many of these can be worth more than one cent to a coin collector; it depends on the date, mintmark, and condition of the coin itself. If the coin has one or more maple leaves on it, though, you have a Canadian cent and you're looking at its front. The monetary value for it is based on the current exchange rate between the US dollar and the Canadian dollar. Again, though, depending on the date and condition of the coin, it may have some collectible value. This assumes you're talking about a US cent, which is commonly called a "penny" even though the coin has never had the word "penny" on it. True pennies (or "pence") are minted in Great Britain and other countries that follow their monetary system.

Really, there is no set value for something like this. 1974 pennies in any condition aren't worth much more than 1 cent but if it is in a sealed bag, there may be some collectors who are willing to pay a bit more. I'd search around and see if any local coin dealers are willing to pay a premium for it because it is an unusual item.
