Pennies in the past had been silver, (hence their abbreviation d, for denarius, a Roman silver coin). They hadn&#039;t been struck for quite a while, so these new pennies in copper were proof of the pound declining. To be fair all currencies were declining, but it really upset some people.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a few of these and the twopence, but (much) lower condition.
