Assuming you are referring to United States Lincoln cents, it depend on the year the pennies were minted: 1909-1981 (except 1943) (95% Copper and 5% Zinc) - 3.089 grams each (147 to the pound). 1943 pennies are steel with a zinc coating and weigh about 2.7 grams each (about 168 to the pound) 1983- to date (2.5% Copper and 97.5% Zinc) - 2.500 grams each (181 to the pound) Note: In 1982, both the 95% copper and 97.5% zinc varieties were made - there is no easy way (other than by weighing them) to differentiate between them.

How much is a silver 1990 penny worth?
All pennies since 1983 are made almost entirely of zinc, covered with a thin coating of copper. Therefore, what you have is either a zinc penny that did not get its copper coating (worth abuot a dollar), or a normal penny that has been silver plated (no added value). You should be able to determine this by weight. A normal penny will weigh 2.5 grams. So if yours weighs less, then it's missing its copper coating. If it weighs more, then it's been silver plated.

What force causes a leaf to fall more slowly than a penny?
We know that air resistance (or atmospheric drag) is what causes a leaf to fall more slowly than a penny. A large leaf that weighs a much as a penny has a much greater surface area than the penny, and all this surface area means that the leaf has more drag. Though the leaf and penny will be accelerated by the same amount of force (because they have the same mass), the leaf will present all that surface area to the air, and this will set up a condition of high drag.
