Obviously the answer to this question will change based on whether you stack the pennies flat or tall. A penny laying flat is 1.5 mm. A penny standing on its edge is 19.05 mm tall. It would take 216,000 flat pennies or 17,008 pennies stacked on their edges to be the same height as the Eiffel Tower, which is 324,000mm (324m) tall.

It takes about 2 and a half minutes. And despite what you may have heard, the velocity is not enough to kill someone, the air resistance is too great. They could get stung pretty good, and might break cause a pretty good bruise, but isn't likely to result in severe injury..............No someone has actually died from someone throwing a penny of the empire building, yeah the air resistance is great but it has more weight in a penny ,just like if rain was a little more heavier it would kill someone or damage something every time it rains but the air resistance slows it down.

The Empire State Building height, including the pinnacle, is 1453' & 8-9/16"= 17,444 & 9/16". The thickness of a nickel is .077". Therefore, if you divide 17,444 & 8-9/16" by .077" you get the number of nickels needed then to reach top: 226,552.7597 around $11, 400.00.
