The phrase "New Pence" was used only on British Coins issued from 1968 to 1981, following the switch from shillings and florins to decimal pounds. It was used to differentiate the new coins from old ones that were also sometimes denominated in pence but used the old meaning of the term, 1/240 of a pound versus the new 1/100 measure.
As such, just about any coin you have with that phrase on it would be (a) relatively recent and (b) not very scarce.
The New Half Penny coins were withdrawn from circulation and demonetised in December 1984.
The 5 New Pence coins were withdrawn from circulation and demonetised in 1991.
The 10 New Pence coins were withdrawn from circulation and demonetised in 1993.
The 50 New Pence coins were withdrawn from circulation and demonetised in 1998.
Unless a "New Pence" coin is part of a Proof or Uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or Uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they have little or no value.

∙ 9y agoVery little these days, in the UK a one pence coin is one penny, 100 pennies equal one pound.
Clarification:
There's actually no coin called "a pence" because pence is the plural of penny when referring to amounts. Saying "a pence" would be somewhat like saying "one feet". The single coin is called a penny; as the earlier poster noted it's 1/100 of a pound sterling. At exchange rates effective in early 2015, it would convert to about 1.5 US cents or 1.8 Canadian cents.
