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.
With the exception of the 20 and 50 Pence coins all British coins are presently round. The 20 and 50 Pence coins are heptagonal or seven sided.
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 "one feet".In any case the penny is the smallest denomination; as of 04/2013 it's equivalent to about 1.6 US cents.
What denomination is the coin? "New Pence" were introduced in 1968 when Britain eliminated its old coinage system and adopted a 100-based system like most other countries. New Pence (since 1982, called just "pence") are issued in denominations of 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 (100p) and £2. The pound is currently worth about $2 U.S. so you can effectively figure your coin's value by taking its denomination in pence and multiplying by 2 to get cents.
The British Penny has been made from copper-plated steel since 1992.Note that it's one penny, not "one pence". Pence is plural. "One pence" is like saying "one mice".From 1860 to 1992, British Pennies were made from bronze which, depending on the year, may have consisted of anything between 92 and 97% copper.
Pence- it's part of their currency, like a dime is in the US.
Yes it is like a pence in UK. Lats are like Pounds but are worth more.
There was no "Battle of Britain" 50 Pence coin issued. Perhaps you refer to the 1994 "50th Anniversary of the Normandy Landing (D-Day)" 50 Pence coin. I have to point out that as I type this I have a "Battle of Britain 1940" fifty pence coin in my hand, so either I have a forged coin or Mr Lewis is incorrect in his assertion that no such coin exists.
Pence- it's part of their currency, like a dime is in the US.
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. The 1983 error or mule coin would look the same as all other 2 New Pence coins issued from 1971 to 1981, except with the year 1983.
