Take em to the port Chuck,I bet they are worth more as scrap than they are as pennys,coppers UP right now!!140# at 1.85 a pound=259

 

[Styles P]

~$403.34

One penny weighs 2.5 grams. 10 lbs = 4 535.9237 g.
4 535.9237 divided by 2.5 = 1814.37 pennies or $18.14/10pounds

18.14 x 14 = 253.96

Must be one massive pig.

 

[EvilRaven1031]

NOKUY, i can tell how you figured that out from your math...hehehe

A penny weighs 1.55 grams actually, so just plug that in instead of 2.5 and the math is right.

EDIT: NM I'm wrong, a pennyweight is 1.55 grams, an actual penny weighs 2.5 grams. My bad

 

[EvilRaven1031]

simple....you might to re-calibrate your calculator. i just tried it ten times and came out with 2.5g everytime

The weight of a penny;

year mass (g)
1956 3.2
1961 3.2
1971 3.1
1980 3.1
2001 2.5

there you go, now do the math

I dont know off the top of my head when they stopped making pennies solid copper,

But nowadays they're copper plated zinc or nickel.

 

[DogBoy]

Do we need to take account of the jar weight or were they weighed on their own?

 

[chuckyoufarley]

weighed on their own
