It's actually a rather lame joke. The answer is (ba DING!) "1,967 pennies are worth $19.67 which is one cent more than $19.66"

Pennies were made to a particular weight at any given time. About 1,000 years ago, Pennies were made from gold. It was found that 240 Pennies weighed one pound, so 240 Pennies came to be known as a Pound. When the Shilling was introduced in the 1500's, initially as the Testoon, there were 20 Shillings or Testoons in a Pound, so therefore there were 12 Pennies in a Shilling.
According to the US mint, 6015.2 million pennies were made in 2012.
Lincoln cents from 1944 through 1946 were made from salvaged cartridge cases which are brass, but after that none were made.
