Best Answer

8p nails or 8 penny nails, more properly written as 8d nails, are nails that are 2.5 inches (65 mm) long.

The unit of measure , the penny, derives from the cost of 100 nails in 15th century England. This way of describing nails is no longer in use in England and survives only in the US.
