  English/British coin Farthing
Farthings were not produced in anything like the quantities of the penny and halfpenny because, although they were useful to ordinary people, they were not so much used by the wealthy and powerful; also there was less profit and more trouble in manufacturing them for the moneyers than there was for the larger denominations.
Henry IV issued farthings in both the "heavy" (pre 1412) and "light" (1412-13) coinages (20% lighter), although allowing for the prevalence of clipping it is quite difficult to distinguish between the two coinages at the size of the farthing.
Farthings weighing 2.7 - 2.9 grams and of 20 millimetres diameter (which was to remain the standard size of the coin for the remainder of its existence) were minted in all years of Edward VII's reign (1901-1910) except 1901.

 Penny Farthing Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Penny Farthing Records was established by UK record producer Larry Page (British singer and manager) as a progression from his successful 1960s label Page One Records.
Page One Records stalwarts the Troggs were persuaded to join Penny Farthing but their label debut, Larry's attempt at the Beach Boys hit "Good Vibrations" with Reg Presley's vocals, did not produce sales.
Penny Farthing also recorded the Johnny Pearson Orchestra from the BBC's Top of the Pops with the hit single "Cast Your Fate To the Wind" and a promising early album by Raymond Froggatt.

 Florilegium urbanum - Tolls and customs - Customs charged on imports to and exports from London
One penny [is payable on] a dozen of cordwain, one penny the dozen of "godelmynges", one halfpenny the dozen of basan, one halfpenny the pound of silk, one farthing the pound of saffron.
A boat rowed [with oars] within rowlocks that comes to Oystergate shall pay one penny; if a half-share in the boat belongs to a freeman of the city and the other half to a foreigner, the latter is to pay half of the custom – that is, a halfpenny.
At the time the tolls were recorded in the 1260s, it was not, however, London's fishmarket; it acquired a royal charter recognising market rights ni 1327, but was a general market for water-borne goods, and was not exclusively a fishmarket until the post-medieval period.

 : :  Treasurehunting.tv - : History of the English penny (1603-1714) : :
Charles's hammered pennies produced at the Tower originally had a design of a rose on both sides, with the inscription C D G ROSA SINE SPINA on the obverse and IUS THRONUM FIRMAT — Justice strengthens the throne — on the reverse.
Following the takeover of the Tower mint by Parliament in 1642, the same coin designs were produced until 1648 though with an older-looking bust of the king; this was to emphasise the fact that Parliaments' argument was not with the king but with his "evil advisors".
The penny was a fairly common denomination and was produced by both methods from dies produced by Thomas Simon.

According to urban psych legends this album was written and recorded while the band were on LSD and I must say that it does show.

By the time "Them" recorded their 1968 albums they were living in the US and were obviously heavily influenced by the emerging psychedlic movement.

 Review - A Penny Dreadful by Gustave Morin
The penny, for Morin (I mean, of course, for me) is both the cinematic lens and the overruling archetype with which all things are viewed and compared.
Upon closer examination I feel that the grains of the wood are actually the textures of a penny bent on the tracks of a train.

 Small Change Coinage of ca. 1700 and Related Coinage Proposals: Introduction
Although the records are lost, we can assume the legislature followed their standard procedure of forming a committee charged with investigating the situation and drafting an act addressing the problem, in this case prohibiting the minting or passing of base or counterfeit coins.
In any event, the Massachusetts penny was made of baser metals that were less expensive than copper and were most probably not heavy enough to gain general acceptance as having an adequate intrinsic value.
Chalkhill's job was to negotiate and oversee the minting of a copper penny token in London, which would replace the private lead and tin penny tokens previously in circulation.

 Science of Cycling: The Wheel: page 1
These early models had names such as the "Ordinary" or "Xtraordinary." In England, these bicycles were also known as "penny farthings" because the large and small wheels were reminiscent of the large one-penny coin and the smaller farthing coin.
While the high-wheels were quite efficient, they were also dangerous: the cyclist was very high off the ground and perched precariously over the front wheel.
So, while the high- wheelers broke new speed and distance records, they quickly gained notoriety for the dangers involved in riding them.
