Pennies average about 3 grams.
Pennies are about 0.4 cubic centimeters, or 0.4 ML.

There are 100,000,000 pennies in a million dollars.

So...we're talking 300,000 kg.
We're talking 40,000,000 cubic centimeters, or 40 cubic meters.

The volume isn't so atrocious; maybe completely fill a couple of spare bedrooms or an entire basement. I mean, don't get me wrong it would be annoying. But the weight...would destroy most houses. That's about 100x the weight most houses are designed to support.
