	Penny
		The plural of "penny" is "pence" when referring to a quantity of money and "pennies" when referring to a number of coins.
		Thus a coin worth five times as much as one penny is worth five pence, but it is not five pennies, since "five pennies" means five coins each of which is a penny.
		A coin worth five times as much as a penny is worth "five cents".

	British One Penny coin (pre-decimal) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The penny, originally a coin of 1.3 to 1.5 g pure silver, was introduced to England around the year 785 by King Offa of Mercia, in the English midlands.
		Coins of the same value were in circulation continuously until decimalisation in 1971, at which time a new penny was introduced worth 2.4 times the value of the old coin.
		As the purity and weight of the coin was critical, the name of the moneyer who manufactured the coin, and at which mint, often appeared on the reverse side of the coin.

	The Story of the Penny. A Brief History
		Such is the lasting influence of the penny that, although the USA declared independence from Britain in 1776, and adopted a decimal currency, largely as a gesture of independence, Americans rather curiously still refer to their one cent coin as a penny!
		For a brief period, from 1971 to 1982, the British penny disappeared to be replaced by the "new penny", part of Britain's decimalisation, and with 100 to the pound.
		In 1992, pennies were produced from copper plated steel, and it is likely that this will become a permanent change, although in some years bronze pennies have been issued also because of production problems, in supplying the steel coins in sufficient quantities.

		The original British penny was a small coin containing one pennyweight of silver.
		Coins weren't minted at a value of more than a pound as there were few things with values that high and the weight of the coinage would have been excessive.

	1930 Penny
		In many respects, the 1930 penny is a numismatic phenomenon - on the surface, the value of the coin appears to be well in excess of values which would normally be associated with a coin with over 1,500 known examples.
		It is known from a long-serving employee who worked at the mint during the depression years that a small number of 1930 penny dies (possibly two) were produced, even though the decision not to mint the coin for circulation had been taken in late 1929.
		These dies were apparently set up in a coining press from time to time to demonstrate the coining process to visiting dignitaries.
