Quid (Pound), Pence and Farthing are all denominations from the British predecimal currency system. The Pound in any amount, was known as a "Quid" (One Quid, Ten Quid, a Thousand Quid). The term "Quid" was used in many countries using the Pound as their currency as a slang term for the Pound. There were 240 Pence in a Pound. Pence is the plural of Penny (One Penny, Two Pence). A Farthing was a quarter of a Penny. The Farthing is the only denomination of the three that did survive into decimal currency.
The Sovereign, Shilling, Pound, Penny and the Farthing were all a part of the now redundant British Imperial currency.

The penny was considerably larger, as a farthing was worth 1/4 of a penny. Those old-timey bicycles with the giant front wheel were nicknamed "penny-farthings" because of the size difference in wheels.
The last British Farthing was minted in 1956 and the coin was demonetised in 1960. There is no British decimal equivalent coin, but at the time of decimalisation, a Farthing, if the coin had existed, would have converted to 0.104 New Pence GBP. At current January 2010 exchange rates, that would be about 2 cents CAD.
