Thrupenny bit ! A small silver coin issued for hundreds of years until 1945.
The silver Threepence was gradually replaced by a brass coin with 12 sides and issued from 1937 to 1967.
The Threepence had a value of 3 Pence. The equivalent of 1.25 Pence in today's money.
Depending on the type of Threepence, its condition and date of issue it could be worth anything from a few pence to several hundred Pounds.
Most commonly though they are plentiful and not worth much at all. Under £1.

What was the value in US dollars of the french franc in 1932?
In 1932, the French franc was worth about four cents (25.46 to the American dollar or 3.92 cents). By 1939 and the start of WWII, the franc had shrunk to just about 2.5 cents. During and after the war, the franc was worth anybody's guess, what with Vichy money and American and British issued francs after the war. For comparison, the British pound in 1932 was worth roughly $5, so the franc was worth a bit less than 2 pence. (Remember, this was before metrification, so a british pound was worth 20 shillings and a shilling was worth 12 pence, so a pound was worth 240 pence.)
How much is 2 bob?
In the UK a bob was a slang term for a shilling. There were 20 shillings in a pound. A ten shilling note was commonly called a ten-bob note. There were 2 half-pennies to the penny and 3 pennies to the threepenny (pronounced thrupenny: the u is pronounced as in hut; and commonly known as a thrupenny-bit). There were 6 pennies in a sixpence (commonly known as a tanner) and 12 pennies in a shilling. There were 2 shillings in a florin (commonly known as a two-bob bit) and 2 shillings and sixpence in a half-crown. Before that there were 4 farthings in a penny and 5 shillings in a crown and 21 shillings in a guinea. The Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland wore a top hat with a 10/6 price tag on it which meant 10 shillings and sixpence which was half a guinea, a considerable amount of money at the time the book was written. Halfpennies and pennies were copper coloured; thrupenny-bits were brass; tanners, shillings, florins, and half-crowns were silver-coloured. In the UK today a bob is worth 5 pence (5p) which is yet one-twentieth of a pound as was the shilling in its day. In the USA today a bob would be worth around 7 cents.
