<p>[QUOTE="KLJ, post: 37781, member: 1910"]The UK doesn't use the penny. Hasn't since the 1960s. At that time coin of the realm switched from pounds, shillings, and pennies to pounds and pence. Although technically incorrect, some people today even shorten pence to "pee." The Labour government did it in the Queen's Speech to open Parliament a few years ago. Upset many editorialists in the process.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
