The Australian and New Zealand Sixpences converted to 5 cents on their respective changeovers to decimal currency. The British Sixpence converted to 2.5 New Pence on their changeover to decimal currency. In Australia during the early 1960's, a sixpence could by a kid enough lollies to share with his little sister, that neither of them would eat their dinner that night and get a belting from mum or dad. Given the ravages of inflation, only the smallest item could probably be bought with a sixpence now.
