In actual fact, the term "penny turtle" is just the name of baby turtles. So depending on the type of turtle you have, it can grow to different sizes. If you're looking for a small turtle/terrapin, I highly recommend the musk turtle, as it grows to :
Females - 6-10"
Males - 3-5"
I have had a musk turtle for seven years now and at four years old he stopped growing at 3". He's very friendly and likes to be picked up, although when put with another turtle, they do get aggressive.
In conclusion, penny turtle's are quite rare to buy, I'm from Essex and I assure you they aren't for sale in the U.K! I got my ex-girlfriend a penny turtle but I ordered it from the states and it cost me $130!! so they aren't the cheapest pets either.
Hope this helps!

How big does a fresh water turtle get?
Depends on the species. Red eared sliders can grow to about a foot and other sliders can grow a simular size. Many painted turtles will grow about nine inches (however southern painted turtles usually stay slightly smaller). Sea turtles (which are not really available in the pet trade), most species of snapping turtles, and most species of tortoises grow many feet long. Unlike mammals, male turtles stay smaller than female turtles so they generally make better pets. The smaller the turtle the less space, time changing tanks, food, etc. it consumes. Musk turtles, male map turtles, and male painted turtles tend to be the smaller adult turtles.
