A Penny Farthing was a 19th Century bicycle invented in 1871 by British engineer, James Starley.
A Penny and a Farthing are both coins from the now redundant British predecimal currency system.
The Penny Farthing bicycle was so named for the contrast of the size of the front and back wheels which were likened to the old Penny and Farthing coins.

If you mean conversion from pre-decimal to post-decimal...
Pre-decimal coinage was:
1 Pound (1£) = 20 Shillings (20s) = 240 Pence (240d)
1 Crown = 5 Shillings (5s/-).
1/2 Crown = 2 Shillings, 6 Pence (2s/6d)
Florin = 2 Shillings (2s/-)
1 Shilling = 12 pennies = 24 Halfpennies = 48 Farthings
Sixpence (6d) = 6 Pence (6d) (1816-1980)
Thruppence (3d) = 3 Pence (3d)
Tuppence (2d) = 2 Pence (2d)
1 Penny (1d) = 2 Halfpennies (1/2d) = 4 Farthings (1/4d)
Penny (1860-1971)
Halfpence (1860-1971)
Farthing (1860-1956)
Post-Decimal coinage (conversion begun in 1968) was:
1 Pound (1£) = 100 Pence (100p)
50 Pence (50p) [replaces 10 Shilling note] (1969-Present)
Crown (25p) [Commemorative coin rarely released between 1945 to 1990]
20 Pence (20p) (1982-Present)
10 Pence (10p) [replaces Florin coin] (1968-Present)
5 Pence (5p) [replaces Shilling coin] (1968-Present)
Two Pence (2p) [Replaced Pre-Decimal Two Pence (2d)] (1971-2008)
Penny (1p) [Replaced Pre-Decimal Two Pence (2d)] (1971-2008)
Half-Pence (1/2p) [Replaced Pre-Decimal Half-Penny(1/2d) ] (1971-1983)
Crown (5£) (1990-Present) [Commemorative coin that replaced the earlier 25p Crown coin]
2 Pound coin (2£) (1998-Present)
1 Pound coin (1£) (1983-Prersent) [Replaced 1£ note]
Pre-Decimal pennies were marked "d", for Denarius and post-decimal pennies were marked "p" for pence.
1 Pre-Decimal Sixpence = 2.5 "New" Pence (2.5p)
1 Pre-Decimal Penny (1d) = 0.416 "New" Pence (1p)
1 Pre-Decimal Farthing (1/4d) = 0.104 "New" Pence (1p)
If you mean its collectable worth as a demonetized collectable, it depends on the condition, design, and demand. Most of the copper coins were smelted down for their scrap value.
