Two one penny coins.
Oh, dude, you're hitting me with a math riddle? Okay, so if we're not using a 5 pence piece, then we can go with a 50 pence coin and a 5 pence coin. Boom, 55 pence, no 5 pence piece involved. Math can be fun when you're not stressing about it!

To find out how many ten pence pieces are in two pounds and forty pence, first convert the total amount to pence. Two pounds is 200 pence, so adding forty pence gives 240 pence. Since each ten pence piece is worth 10 pence, you divide 240 by 10, which equals 24. Therefore, there are 24 ten pence pieces in two pounds and forty pence.
24 pence. In pre-decimal currency in the UK it was 24 old pence. The equivalent today would be 10 pence.
The two coins are a ten-pence coin and a one pence-coin. The one-pence coin is the one that is not a ten-pence coin.
