A British West Africa tenth of a penny coin from 1940, also known as a "tenth of a penny" or "1/10d," is a small denomination that was part of the currency used in British West African territories. In terms of its collectible value, it typically ranges from a few dollars to around $10, depending on its condition and rarity. However, its face value remains one-tenth of a penny, which is negligible in modern currency. Collectors often seek these coins for their historical significance rather than their monetary value.

The Florin was introduced into the British currency in 1848 as a tentative step towards decimalisation which was not realised for another 120 years. A Florin was worth 24 Pence or two Shillings or one tenth of a Pound depending on your frame of reference. One tenth of a Florin was equal to 2.4 Pence in the predecimal currency, for which there was no equivalent coin or combination of coins. In the British decimal currency, a Florin converted to 10 New Pence, so one tenth of a Florin converted to One New Penny.
