It is illegal until guy Fawkes night (5th November) because it is still begging and begging is illegal. so the answer isno, it is illegal but only until guy Fawkes night.
It all started when a man called Guy sat on a firework and his mate walked around screaming penny for a guy, penny for a guy! The reason he was screaming was because he wanted him to get down as soon as possible. The reason Guy sat on the firework was because he wanted to kill the king and he was trying to make the king come and do the same thing.
It is a phrase used by children on Guy Fawkes night, November 5th in Britain. In the same that children may say "Trick or treat" when collecting things on Halloween, "Penny for the Guy" is used as a way of asking for money when bringing around an effigy of Guy Fawkes. They would make something like a scarecrow and then wheel him around on a wheelbarrow or trolley or pram or by some other means, and go collecting money.
