A penny... turns up like a bad penny.A penny saved is a penny earnedA penny for your thoughts.A penny's cheap for what you need, for what you don't, it's dear (expensive)That costs a pretty penny
The phrase means that something is very expensive. The origin comes from a gold penny that was minted in the 1200's that was worth 20 silver pennies. Because it was gold, it was a pretty penny, and if it cost a pretty penny, it was expensive indeed.
That probably depends what you mean by a "penny". The first US penny was minted in 1787. The first British penny was minted in 790 AD. See Related Links.
To say something costs a 'pretty penny' is to mean the item is expensive
The earliest record of the penny by name in history is from 790 AD when the first British penny was minted. It was originally pressed in silver.
This is just an imaginative way of saying that something is expensive - it's not just worth a penny, the penny has to be pretty on top of it!
