Answer:

If a US penny has a P printed on it, it means that it was made in Pennsylvania. If the letter is a D, then it is was made in Delaware

Answer:

Because prior to the decimalisation of the English currency there were 20 shillings in a pound and 12 pennies in a shilling which were represented as Lsd. The L stood for Libra (Latin for pound) The s stood for solidi (a Latin word for shillings) the d stood for denarii (a Latin word for pence)
