A type of coin. It circulated during Colonial times in America. Back then, the Pound was not decimalized (divided into 100 cents/pence). 20 shillings made up a pound, and twelve pence made up a shilling. When the UK decimalized their currency in 1971, the sixpence was revalued to 2.5 new pence. Sixpence, however, continued to be legal tender into 1980.
