The lower case "d" has been used to identify various values of a penny since the Roman occupation of Britain.

The very earliest British Penny was modelled on the Roman denarius, a coin of similar value. The "d" comes from the Roman "denarius".

I found a coin with the word Eire on it It also has the date of 1964 A bird on one side an maybe a harp on the other It says 1d on the top Can you tell me about it?

Eire is the Irish term for Ireland. The harp is the historical symbol of Ireland and has been used on Irish (Hibernia, Eireann, Eire) coins for hundreds of years. 1d indicates One Penny (or Pingin in Irish), the "d" dating back to Roman times being derived from the Roman coin "Dinari". This was the symbol used by Britain and most British Empire/Commonwealth countries to indicate a "penny" value. The reverse of the Penny shows a chicken with chicks. The reverse of all pre-Euro Irish coins feature fauna from the Irish countryside. The Irish Pounds, Shillings and Pence currency which was based on the long established British currency, was discontinued and the currency progressively withdrawn in favour of a decimal currency based on 100 Pence to the Pound in 1971.
