    The mass of 1 mole of pennies is 1.50*10²⁴ g

    1.1*10²¹ moles of pennies have a mass equal to the mass of the moon.

    Explanation:

    As we know, 1 mol = 6.02*10²³ units

    Let's think this rule of three:

    1 penny weighs 2.50 g

    So, 6.02*10²³ pennies would weigh (6.02*10²³. 2.5) = 1.50*10²⁴ g

    We consider that a penny is made of Cu, 100 % Cu.

    Let's find out the moles of 1 penny (mass / molar mass)

    2.50 g / 63.55 g/mol = 0.0393 moles

    Finally we can do this rule of three:

    2.50 g are contained in 0.0393 moles of pennies

    7.35*10²² g would be contained in (7.35*10²². 0.0393) / 2.50 = 1.1*10²¹ moles
