There's no such coin as a "pence". The word is the plural of penny in the British coinage system, so "a pence" would be like saying "a geese".In any case the penny is the smallest denomination; as of 03/2013 it's equivalent to about 1.6 US cents.

Some British 1983 2 Pence coins were minted with the word "NEW" on them. The "NEW" had been dropped from the coins reverse design in 1982. These coins were only issued in some Royal Mint sets.
