You may be thinking of the term "ha'penny", which is pronounced like "hay penny". It's slang for an old half-penny coin in British currency. Prior to decimalisation, half-pennies were worth 1/480 of a pound sterling. Following the switch to decimal currency new half-pennies were issued that were worth £0.005, or 1/200 of a pound. The half-penny coin was eliminated in 1984 due to its low purchasing power.

∙ 12y agoThere's no coin called a "hay" penny. The name is pronounced the same but it's actually spelled "ha'penny", a contraction of the term "half penny".
Half pennies were used in Britain for about 1000 years so without a specific date it's impossible to provide any kind of value estimate; please post a new, separate question with that information.

What is a ha-penny?
A colloquial term for a British half-penny, a ha-penny (pronounced "HAY-penny") is an obsolete coin worth 1/480th of a pound. Originally there were two farthings to a half penny, two half pennies to a penny, 12 pennies to a shilling and 20 shillings to the pound. In 1968, however, this system (called the LSD system, after the abbreviations for pound ("£"), shilling ("s") and penny ("d")) was replaced by the decimal system (100 pence to the pound), although a final LSD set of coins was made for collectors in 1970. A decimal half-penny worth 1/200th of a pound was produced for a few years, but is no longer in circulation. The values of half-penny coins vary considerably. For information on a specific coin, please post a new question with its date.
