Why is the English coin called a 'farthing'?

A farthing was originally called a fourthing - The old English Penny was originally designed to be cut into four pieces in order to make change! Over the years, the word degraded into the modern spelling.AnswerActually, a farthing is a semantic shift of fourthing, from Old English feorðung, or fourth (quarter) of a penny. They were not cut into four, but minted as a coin with four to a penny (so a halfpenny, pronounced hay-penny, was worth two farthings).The confusion above may come about from pennies being cut into two or four, thus making halfpennies and farthings. They were used in Britain until 1960, at which time inflation had made them near valueless and a nuisance.


Do you need a ladder to get on a penny farthing?

That would ultimately depend on the skill of the rider, but as they couldn't expect there to be a ladder wherever they stopped they had to come up with other ways. Penny farthings often had climbing spurs along the "back bone", the tube that went between steerer tube and the small rear wheel. But if there was something handy to climb on, like a low wall or something, riders would often use that.
