Well, darling, 5 pence is worth about 7 cents in American money, and 6 pence is worth about 9 cents. So, if you add those together, you've got yourself a whopping 16 cents. Not exactly enough to buy you a fancy latte, but hey, every penny counts!

Assuming 12 p is 12 pence and 3 is 3 pounds ... 0.12/3.00 x 100 =12/3 = 4 Answer: 4 percent
Assuming your question refers to Mexican pesos, exchange rates change every day but during 2011-12 they've averaged about 13 or 14 Mexican pesos = US$1. So, 5 pesos would be worth about 35¢
It was worth 12 pence in pre-decimalisation money
12 pence
One pre-decimal pound was 20 shillings, one shilling was 12 pence, so one pound was 240 pence.
A 12 pence coin does not exist, but in old British money 12 pence equalled 1 Shilling and 20 Shillings equalled 1 Pound (£).
A five pence coin is worth 5 pence, and 7 pennies are worth 7 pence, making the total value 5 + 7 = 12 pence. Since each 2p coin is worth 2 pence, you can determine how many 2p coins equal 12 pence by dividing 12 by 2. Thus, 12 pence divided by 2 pence per coin equals 6. Therefore, 6 two-pence coins have the same value as 1 five pence coin and 7 pennies.
Before England decimalised the Pound, one shilling was worth one twentieth of a pound or 12 pence. Nowadays shillings aren't used, but it would be worth 5 pence of today's decimalised pound.
In old money 48 farthings = 12 pence which was worth one shilling in British currency.
26.5 pence This is not accurate. It depends on the year of the money. If the money was from the time when coins were .925 silver, then 12 shillings and sixpence would be worth 20 pounds, 62 pence in today's money (as of 1/18/2016) assuming you don't add any numismatic value on top of that. .500 silver coins would be worth 11 pounds, 15 pence. Even base metal coins would have to be put through an inflation calculator to arrive at an accurate amount in today's money.
12 pence =1 shilling 240 pence = 1 pound 20 shillings = 1 pound
There have always been 12 Pence to the Shilling since the Shilling was first introduced.
One old shilling is the equivalent of a modern 5 pence (each being 1/20 of a pound). Shillings were still legal tender as 5 pence until the early 1990s. 12 times 5 is 60 pence.
In 1920, 6 pence in the UK was worth about a quarter of a shilling, as there were 12 pence in a shilling. In terms of purchasing power, 6 pence could buy a small item, such as a loaf of bread or a newspaper. Adjusted for inflation, its value today would be significantly higher, roughly equivalent to a few pounds in modern currency.
