What year did the old penny come out?

The old penny, specifically the British penny, was first introduced in 785 AD during the reign of King Offa of Mercia. Over the centuries, various designs and materials have been used, but the term "old penny" often refers to the pre-decimal penny that was in use until the decimalization of the currency in 1971. The old penny was replaced by a new decimal penny worth one-hundredth of a pound in that year.

Old coins are valuable because they're old and rare. The 1945 penny isn't worth remarkably more than other coins of its approximate age (in fact, it's worth a lot less than a 1944 steel penny, or a 1943 copper penny, both of which are extremely rare).


How much is a 103 year old penny worth?

The value of a 103-year-old penny, which would be from 1920, depends on its condition and type. A common 1920 penny in good condition may be worth a few cents, while a well-preserved or rare variant could be worth significantly more, potentially up to several dollars. Collectors often look for specific mint marks or unique features that can increase the value. For an accurate appraisal, it’s best to consult a coin dealer or a numismatic expert.
