When pennies were made out of copper, the rule of thumb was $1.47 worth of pennies weighed a pound.At $1.47 a pound times 17 pounds, the pennies would be worth $24.99.More informationOnly two principal alloy changes have been made over the last 150 years: From 1864 to 1982 US cents were made of bronze (95% copper) except for 1943, when they were struck in steel due to wartime shortages. Bronze cents weigh 3.11 gm each, so the number of those coins in one American pound (453.6 gm) is 453.6/3.11 = 145.85 coinsSince 1982 cents have been made of copper-plated zinc and weigh 2.5 gm so the number of new cents in a pound is 453.6/2.5 = 181.44 coins.Multiply those by 17 for the answer:> Bronze cents: 145.85 x 17 = 2,479 cents or $24.79> zinc cents: 181.44 x 17 = 3,084 cents or $30.84

All British general circulation predecimal Pennies, Halfpennies and Farthings were made from bronze from 1860 to 1967.
The cost of minting them. Today's pennies are zinc (cheap) coated with a copper wash, and still cost more to make than they are worth.
