how much does 10 lb of pennies worth

In this economy a "penny saved really is a penny earned".  There is a good reason why the Coinstar line is so long. There is also a good reason why I look under the cushions of my friend's couch for loose change. (I got to pay the bills some how)

So you have a big jar full of pennies, and your wondering if you can use to to pay your sub prime mortgage or your credit card debt.

Well using my old answer a penny weighs in at 2.5 grams.  There are 453.58 grams to pound, so that means about 180 pennies per a pound. So 10 lb of pennies equals 1,800 for a grand total of $18

PS.  If using your pennies to pay for something do not soak them in urine first.

So pennies can weight either 2.5 or 3.1 grams so the average penny is 2.8 grams. Also I’ve never heard of anyone using try ounces unless they’re from Troy. So with a lb being 448 grams and 10 pennies make a oz times that by 16 and you come out with 16.00$

Just count out the worthless pennies and weight it. If you’re a coin collector, this already proves you have more time than money! Its just pennies for Pete’s sake! LOL
