penny
unit of measurement, currency
A British currency unit. Pl.: Pence.
Originally a penny was a fraction of a pound sterling: 1 pound sterling was equivalent to 240 pence.
In 1971 the penny was adapted to the decimal system so that 100 pence became equivalent to 1 pound sterling. In the USA and Canada, a penny designates a coin worth one cent (0.01 dollar).
