Worth of a 1943 steel copper penny?
There isn't a "steel copper" penny. US cents were made of steel - but no copper - during 1943 to conserve copper for use in ammunition. Up till 1982 other dates of cents were made of a bronze alloy that was 95% copper, but no steel. A few 1943 cents were struck in bronze by accident but these are very rare and none have been found in many years.

How much is a 1943 wheat back penny worth cant pick up with a magnet?
A 1943 Copper cent is worth as much as $40,000 because most cents from America in 1943 were made from steel because of the need of copper for WWII. A few copper cents were made in error and are very rare coins. However, there are many counterfeit "1943" cents made from 1948 pennies by shaving away the left-hand side of the "8". The difference should be obvious. A genuine 1943 cent has an asymmetrical 3 in the date, with the tail pointing down at a 45º angle. A fake made from a 1948 cent has a symmetrical 3, with the top and bottom halves of the digit being semicircular.
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.

What is a 1943 Coper penny worth?
Over a million dollars if it is genuine. However, there are only a handful of known genuine 1943 copper pennies.
