Best Answer

It depends on how old the coins are. US cents minted up to the middle of 1982 weighed 3.11 gm so there are about 145 of them in a pound (453.6 gm). In mid-1982 the coin's composition was changed to copper-plated zinc and the weight was reduced to 2.5 gm so that means that you'd need about 181 new cents.

It's difficult to tell the 1982-date pennies apart so it's best to leave them out of any experiments you may do.
