It depends on whether you're referring to "pound" as weight or currency, which country you're referring to, and what date the pennies are.

British penniesIf you mean how many British pennies equal 9 pounds sterling, £1 = 100p so £9 = 900p.

If you mean how many British pennies weigh a pound, 1p coins minted since 1971 weigh 3.56 gm and there are 453.6 gm in 1 lb, so 9 lbs of British pennies would contain (9 x 453.6 / 3.56 ) coins, or just under 1,147 pennies.

US CentsIn the US nearly everyone calls the 1-cent coins pennies in daily usage. A cent's weight differs depending on when it was made.

Since 1982, US cents have been made of zinc and copper weighing 2.5 gm each. That means 9 lbs of these coins would contain (9 x 453.6 / 2.5), or almost exactly 1,633 coins.

Earlier cents weighed 3.11 grams so (9 x 453.6 / 3.11) is a bit less than 1,313 coins.
