What are steel pennies?
Steel pennies are pennies made in 1943 during World War II because copper was needed to make artillery. The Mint took the copper out of pennies and replaced it with zinc-coated steel. Steel cents were made for a year but many people didn't like them because it was easy to mistake them for a dime. 15% of the steel pennies were sent back by the public and then the 15% was destroyed! Since they were only made in 1943 and are unusual they've disappeared from circulation, but over a billion were minted so they're still not rare - collectors and dealers have bins of them, usually selling for 25 cents to a dollar. Also some of these pennies were accidentally made out of copper and are extremely rare. Many fakes have been made by copper-plating genuine steel cents, but you can tell if you have one of these fakes because they're the only US coin that is magnetic. This coin (if you collect coins) is a very good addition to your collection because it has the most interesting back story! -CL
How many pounds of Pennys equals one dollar?
Presuming that you are asking about US Lincoln pennies, the answer is that it depends. If the pennies are pre-1982, they are 95% copper and 5% zinc and weigh 147 to the pound. If the pennies are post-1982, they are 2.5% copper and 97.5% zinc and weigh 181 to the pound. In 1982, both types were made. In 1943, pennies were made from steel coated with zinc (so-called "silver pennies" or "steel pennies") and in 1944 (and I think 1945 as well) from old brass shell casings, so their counts would be a bit different.
