<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stevearino, post: 5374786, member: 74571&quot;]Well, Salvador has repeatedly been given solid advice here.&nbsp; If his responses continue in the same vein, I smell a troll.&nbsp; Be that as it may, I did learn one thing from this thread:</p><p>&nbsp; &quot;Pennies&quot; IS the correct form of the plural for penny.&nbsp; [USER=13318]@l.cutler[/USER], you beat me to it, and I suspect [USER=114675]@potty dollar 1878[/USER] perhaps is thinking of the coins belonging to his neighbor, Penny Olson, hence &quot;Penny&#039;s.&quot; </p><p>&nbsp; What was new was that &quot;pennies&quot; is correct for a <b>number</b> <b>of coins</b>, while pence is correct for an <b>amount of money</b>.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, the question is: do we say it correctly and sound British?&nbsp; My wife is tired of me trying to get the world to pronounce &quot;err&quot; correctly (NOT pronounced &quot;air&quot;).&nbsp; She says, &quot;Go ahead and pronounce it correctly and let everyone else think you&#039;re goofy.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Steve, aka Goofy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
