The numbers are actually a hair higher than stated since they use pennies without wear for their calculation. 147 coppers is what I have found on average for 1lb.

Isn't it pretty much a wash between the loss from wear and the weight gained from the dirt and gunk on the coins?

American coppers = 3.11 grams, or exactly 1/10th a troy ounce.

One roll of coppers = 5 troy ounces. Easy peasy.

I learned both systems too, and went to University in US and Canada.
Canadian pennies have different weights - but there are some good averages for mixed date CDN CU
