By Staff WriterLast Updated April 05, 2020

A stack of one million pennies reaches approximately 4,986.88 feet tall, or just a little higher than 831 6-feet tall men. The stack is 1,662.29 yards or 0.944 miles tall.

The stack is also the equivalent of almost four Empire State Buildings stacked one on top of the other without the antenna. This is a total of over 400 stories. A penny is 0.06 inches thick and weighs approximately 0.088 ounces. That same stack of one million pennies weighs 5,500 pounds or 2.75 tons. This is more than a rhinoceros typically weighs. The monetary value of the stack of pennies is $10,000.
