Predecimal British Pennies could be worth anything from a few Pence to many Pounds depending on the year, their condition and their relative availability.
Valuations for most British Pennies will already appear on WikiAnswers.
Use the question format - "What is the value of a 1902 British Penny?" to find a current valuation for the particular Penny you are interested in.

In 2010, the Royal Mint produced the following British general circulation coins - Two Pound coins - 2,015,000 One Pound coins - 38,505,000 50 Pence coins - 510,090 20 Pence coins - 91,700,500 10 Pence coins - 25,320,500 5 Pence coins - 180,250,500 2 Pence coins - 38,000,000 1 Penny coins - 421,002,000 A total of 797,303,590 British coins. These figures do not include any of the Proof or bullion coins or the 2012 Olympic commemorative coins. Neither does it include the coins made for the 16 other countries the Royal Mint is contracted to produce coins for.
To make 45 pence using silver coins (which are 5 pence coins), you can use any combination of 5 pence coins. The maximum number of 5 pence coins you can use is 9 (since 9 x 5 = 45). The different combinations include using fewer coins and substituting with higher denominations, like 20 pence or 50 pence coins, but since the question specifies silver coins, the main focus remains on combinations of 5 pence coins. Thus, the primary solution is simply using 9 coins of 5 pence each.
The 5 New Pence and 10 New Pence coins were put into circulation in 1968, three years ahead of the scheduled "D-day" of the 15th of February, 1971.
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.
It took me ages to work this out - its an americansm - the coin values go 25 pence 10 pence 5 pence 1 pence I put pence as I find it easier to think in sterling but of course officially its cents - the Americans use 'quarters' ie 25 cent coins where we have 20 p and 50 p coins instead. Makes your brain work even harder as we are not used to the coinage! I was getting really annoyed at not being able to play this game and now I can (badly!)
There are 100 pence in a pound So 5 twenty-pence coins make a pound. If there are 12 pounds in the bag, and it only contains twenty-pence coins, then there must be 12 times 5 twenty-pence coins. 12 x 5 = 60 60 twenty-pence coins = £12.00
To determine how many 10 pence coins are in 42 pounds, we must first convert pounds to pence. Since there are 100 pence in a pound, 42 pounds would be equal to 4200 pence. To find the number of 10 pence coins in 4200 pence, we divide 4200 by 10, which equals 420. Therefore, there are 420 10 pence coins in 42 pounds.
2 pence
If you had 1 million pounds in 1 pence coins, you would have a total of 100 million 1 pence coins. This is because there are 100 pence in 1 pound, so 1 million pounds would be equivalent to 100 million pence. Each pence coin represents 1 pence, so the total number of coins would be 100 million.
This is a common riddle and misconception. 1 of the 2 coins isn't a 20 pence, but the other one will be, thus, a 20 pence and 10 pence add up to 30 pence.
7 x 2 Pence coins and 1 x Penny.
