older pennies were made from copper and weigh around 3.11 grams while the new pennies which are copper plated zinc, weigh around 2.5 grams
Newer pennies actually have less mass than older ones. U.S. cents minted before 1982 were mostly copper and weigh 3.1 grams, while newer ones are mostly zinc and weigh 2.5 grams.
Modern zinc (1982-present) pennies weigh 2.5 grams each, and copper pennies (pre-1982) weigh 3.11 grams each. 50 new ones weigh 125 grams and 50 old ones weigh 155.5 grams. A mix of the two weighs somewhere in the middle.50 US pennies would weigh about .338 pounds.
Weight will vary with size. An 8x4x2.25 inch brick weighs ABOUT 5 pounds.
New windmills typically have larger blades and more advanced technology, allowing them to catch more wind compared to old windmills. The larger blades and improved design of new windmills enable them to generate more electricity efficiently.
No because they are of the same volume but different mass. Pre 1982 pennies were I think 95% copper and 5% zinc. Now they are something like 2% copper and the rest zinc. The density of zinc is 7.13g/cc and copper is 8.92g/cc. They should be less dense no than they were.
There were 240 old pennies in a British pound, whereas there are 100 new pence in a pound. Old pennies were much larger than new ones, more the size of a 50p. cw: Penny vs cent: A cent is 1/100 of the larger denomination.

The British "New Penny" was first issued in 1971, along with the Two New Pence and the Half New Penny. From 1982, the "New" was dropped and the coin was known as the 'Penny" again. This is true for all British decimal coins, the word "New" no longer being used from 1982.
You need to know a lot more about it than that it's "old". Do you have a U.S. cent or a real British penny? What is its date? If it's from the U.S., does it have a mint mark? Please determine those main details and post a new question.
The old penny, specifically the British penny, was first introduced in 785 AD during the reign of King Offa of Mercia. Over the centuries, various designs and materials have been used, but the term "old penny" often refers to the pre-decimal penny that was in use until the decimalization of the currency in 1971. The old penny was replaced by a new decimal penny worth one-hundredth of a pound in that year.
