There are 146 copper pennies to a pound. Copper is about $4.50 a pound. Therefore each copper penny is worth about 3 cents. The vast majority of pennies in current circulation are made of zinc.

Yes, that is why I specified “copper pennies”. They can be found, but they are not common so you couldn’t get rich by cashing them in for their copper value.
However, zinc prices are over a dollar a pound, too.

P.S. But it takes 181 zinc pennies to make a pound. It isn’t quite there yet, but with Obozo as president, I feel confident that he can drive the value of a dollar down even further.
