A Sixpence was a small silver coin used in many countries of the British Empire. As the name suggests, a Sixpence is of equivalent value to 6 Pennies.

They are not known to be a particularly lucky coin however, if you have one, you are luckier than somebody who does not have one.

I have quite a lot of Sixpences and I have not been exactly swamped with good luck or good fortune.
