Best Answer

A Sixpence was a small silver coin used in many countries of the British Empire that was the equivalent in value to 6 pennies, hence the name.

Sixpence is also how you would refer to the combined value of 6 pennies.

If you had 6 pennies, or 3 pennies and a Threepence in your pocket, you could say that you had sixpence in your pocket.
