US cents ("pennies") minted since mid-1982 weigh 2.5 gm each.

There are 100 cents in a dollar so a million dollars' worth would be 100 million pennies.

At 2.5 gm each their total weight would be 250 million grams.

Converting to more-manageable units, there are 1000 grams in a kilo and 1000 kilos in a tonne, so there are a million grams in one tonne. Therefore 250 million grams is 250 tonnes. A large car weighs around 2 tonnes so figure the pennies would weigh about as much as a 125 cars.
