The British pre-decimal penny was a denomination of sterling coinage worth 1⁄240 of one pound or 1⁄12 of one shilling. Its symbol was d, from the Roman denarius. It was a continuation of the earlier English penny, and in Scotland it had the same monetary value as one pre-1707 Scottish shilling. The penny was originally minted in silver, but from the late 18th century it was minted in copper, and then after 1860 in bronze. The penny was withdrawn in 1971 due to decimalisation, and replaced (in effect) by the decimal half new penny, with +1⁄2p being worth 1.2d.

  • péni (português europeu) ou pêni (português brasileiro) antigo (em inglês: Penny), é a expressão utilizada no Reino Unido para descrever a unidade monetária antes da pré-adoção do sistema decimal em 1971. A abreviatura usada ao se escrever quantias em pence antigo era d (do latim denário); assim, três pence antigos eram escritos como 3d. O valor de um pêni antigo era de 1/240 de uma libra. Esta moeda era substancialmente maior em tamanho do que o centavo dos Estados Unidos ou Canadá, embora tivesse um valor semelhante devido à desvalorização da libra esterlina em 1949. (pt)

  • Il Penny (abbreviato d., dal latino denarius) fu una moneta pre-decimale britannica, quella dalla vita più lunga, essendo stata coniata per la prima volta sotto i sovrani anglo-sassoni nel VII secolo e fino al 1970. Dal 1971 viene coniata una moneta decimale dall'identico nome e valore, la quale però è inserita in un sistema decimale dove 100 pence formano una sterlina, mentre in precedenza ogni sterlina era suddivisa in 20 scellini, ciascuno del valore di 12 pence, pertanto erano necessari 240 pence per formare una sterlina.
