Why were there 12 old pence make a shilling?

Pennies were made to a particular weight at any given time. About 1,000 years ago, Pennies were made from gold. It was found that 240 Pennies weighed one pound, so 240 Pennies came to be known as a Pound. When the Shilling was introduced in the 1500's, initially as the Testoon, there were 20 Shillings or Testoons in a Pound, so therefore there were 12 Pennies in a Shilling.

Was there a penny made with gold in 1975?

yes, i have one. No. The US has never made any gold coins smaller than $1, and no circulating gold coins have been issued since 1933. It's very common for jewelry-makers to plate pennies and dimes for use in bracelets, charms, etc. so you probably have one of those. In any case it would cost more to remove the gold plating than its value as precious metal.
