This will depend upon the year of the pennies, because the make-up of pennies is not only copper and has changed over the years.
By 1985, U.S. pennies were copper-plated zinc. It's worth one cent.
A 1942 copper penny is worth between $0.15 and $3.00. If you have a 1943 copper penny it is worth a lot more. In 1943 because of the war and the need for copper pennies in that year were made from steel. Steel pennies from 1943 are worth around $0.30 and $2.50. If you have a real 1943 copper penny take it to a coin shop or dealer and have them check it out to see if it is real.
No way to answer, because there are at least 2 common types of US pennies. There are approximately 145 copper pennies in a pound.There are approximately 181 copper plated zinc pennies in a pound.
Average value is 2 to 3 cents.
You can, but they're not worth very much. They're only worth about 2 cents for their copper content.
Some have sold at auction in the range of $40,000 to $50,000
Pennies in 1941 were mostly copper, not nickel, and they're worth about 5 cents.
There are not many 1943 copper pennies known. If it is genuine they sell for well over $100,000.
The ones dated 1941-1943 are all common and worth around 10 cents each on average. Copper wheat pennies (following the '43 steel cent) are typically worth around 5 cents. Then 1959-1974 are worth 2 cents for the copper.
It isn't. Normal 1943 pennies are worth 3-15 cents depending on condition because they are made out of steel and are collected even by non-collectors as curiosities. The only expensive 1943 pennies are the copper pennies which were made by mistake. When they turned on the machines to make the 1943 steel pennies, some copper blanks were left inside the machines and so a tiny amount of 1943 copper pennies were created by mistake. Since there might only be ~15 made, they are worth a lot. But an ordinary 1943 penny is only worth a few cents.
30000 pennies are worth exactly $300. In the UK 30,000 pennies are worth £300.00
