It depends on the year. Before 1982, pennies contained 95% copper and 5% zinc. Those minted after 1982 are 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper. Today's pennies weigh less. So if the majority of the pennies are after 1982, you would most likely have about 23,586 pennies, which is equal to $235.86 USD. If the majority of the pennies are before 1982, you would most likely have 18,960 pennies, which is equal to $189.60 USD. But then again you can smelt the pennies and sell the copper.
I hope this helped you. :)
