One Penny Australian in 1925 had the purchasing power of about $0.28 AUD today.
NOTE - This historical conversion is the result of many calculations and considerations for which I cannot take credit. The resulting answer should only be regarded as an approximation.
Back in 1898, one penny would buy many things. One penny would buy a daily newspaper, two eggs, three or four candy sticks, a half-loaf of bread, or and entire loaf of day old bread in 1898.
Probably a loaf of bread! hehe
A coin dealer would have to buy it (or you could sell it via eBay or craigslist) but at most that penny is worth 3 cents. It is a really common penny and most likely you would find no one wanting to buy it for over a cent.
You pay a penny.....
One Penny GBP in 1700 had the purchasing power of about £0.50 GBP today.

I would personally buy it for 100,000.
Anything that costs a penny.
A penny. He's not worth that much.
A penny could buy you a great many things in the year 1928. A penny could buy a child a piece of candy for example.
A coin collector who had one missing from his collection would probably buy one. The British 1967 Penny is the last Penny to be minted prior to the introduction of decimal currency in Britain.
If you can buy a computer for a penny, it is likely pity or charity. An example would be a grandparent selling a computer for a penny to a beloved grandchild.In some cases, you can get a computer for free. You might find a broken one on the side of the road. Or maybe a company is discarding some.
