*Hi mick, according to one of my favorite websites, http://www.coinflation.com > The pre-1982 copper penny is worth 2.35 cents at the moment in metal value.

The coin is 95% copper and 5% zinc and weighs in at 3.11 grams.

1 pound = 453.59237 grams

So it takes about 146 pennies to make a pound. If you have a jar that's 20 pounds of 95% pre-1982 copper pennies then you have roughly 2,920 pennies in each jar.


HI-HO SILVER !!!
