I have 40 pounds of pennies.
The copper is now worth more than the value of the pennies.
If I were you, I'd keep them.

Only if they are from 1981 or earlier, when pennies were made with 95% copper. The copper in them is worth about 3 cents each at current prices. However, since 1982 pennies have been made almost entirely of zinc.
You're right... exchange the 1982-2007 pennies for nickels
