If your penny has a date before 1982, it is made of 95% copper. If the date is 1983 or later, it is made of 97.5% zinc and plated with a thin copper coating. Pennies made after 1983 weigh 2.5 grams. One pound of pennies weigh 453.6 grams. It would take 181.4 pennies to equal one pound.Pennies made from 1959 to 1982 weigh 3.11 grams so it would take 145.7 pennies from this era to make a pound. BTW: There are 50 pennies in a roll of pennies, so the entire roll would weigh a little over 4 ounces.f your penny has a date before 1982, it is made of 95% copper.

In mathematics and computer science, hexadecimal (also base Template:Num, or hex) is a positional numeral system with a radix, or base, of 16. It uses sixteen distinct symbols, most often the symbols 0â9 to represent values zero to nine, and A, B, C, D, E, F (or alternatively aâf) to represent values ten to fifteen. For example, the hexadecimal number 2AF3 is equal, in decimal, to (2 Ã 163) + (10 Ã 162) + (15 Ã 161) + (3 Ã 160) , or 10,995.
Octal and hexadecimal notation. Because binary notation can be cumbersome, two more compact notations are often used, octal and hexadecimal. Octal notation represents data as base-8 numbers. Each digit in an octal number represents three bits. Similarly, hexadecimal notation uses base-16 numbers, representing four bits with each digit. Octal numbers use only the digits 0-7, while hexadecimal numbers use all ten base-10 digits (0-9) and the letters a-f (representing the numbers 10-15). The number 42 is written in octal as:
