145 pennies (pre 1982) 181 (1982 and beyond). 1982 and newer pennies contain mostly zinc and pre 1982 pennies are 95% copper.

The above mentioned is pennies in a pound. to figure out pennies "in a pound of copper you must multiply "for pre 1982" 145 X 95% "copper content. Since your 5% short of copper per penny you multiply 145 X 5% to get 7.25. Add 145 to 7.25 to get 152.25 pre 1982 pennies in a pound of copper.If you mean how many pennies can you make from one pound of copper the answer is:There is 2,5% copper in the penny (the rest is mostly zinc)so you need 40 pounds of pennies to have one pound of copper.Each penny weighs 0,080 troy ounces40 pounds is 583,33 troy ounces (see why I like the metric system?)583,3 / 0,8 = 7291.66...About 7293 pennies (almost seventy three dollars in pennies)(some will be used and have corroded if that makes a difference...
