	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".

		Coins of this size and metal have been minted all over the world and have proved popular amongst collectors as they are reasonably common and, because of their size, allow collectors to see the detail of the coin that is often too small to see on smaller coins.
		The downsize of the coins size is that the surface of the coin is prone to marking.
		Choice coins however are scarce due to the fact that marks often appear on the large surface area that maybe less evident on smaller coins such as threepences.

	British Coin decimalisation
		Unlike the earlier coins, all of which were made from nickel-brass, the new coins were bimetallic with a central cupro-nickel inner disc bonded to an outer brass ring.
		By 1990, a combination of inflation and the realisation that the cupro-nickel coins were unnecessarily large, led to the five pence coin being reduced in weight and size, from 24mm diameter to 18mm.
		The ten pence coin followed in 1992, reduced down to a size similar to the old five pence but, to prevent fraudulent use of old five pence coins, particularly in cash machines, it was made slightly larger and heavier.

	British Coins before the Florin, Compared to French Coins of the Ancient Regime
		The table at right shows the British coins in common use until the introduction of the two shilling Florin in 1849.
		Silver coins would simply become tokens for their face value in gold, regardless of the intrinsic value of silver (so long as this was less than the face value!).
		The modern British 5p coin, which is the decimal descendant of the shilling, thus may be said to be the last link to Roman coinage, although, as the solidus, it only existed on paper for the many centuries of the silver penny.

	British Coinage
		Until 1971, when the British coinage was converted to decimalisation, the coins in use were pounds, shillings and pence, based on the Latin names "Librae, Solidii, Denarii" or £.

		The coinage was finally decimalized in 1971 with a coinage in which 100 pence equals 1 pound.
