<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 990557, member: 26302"]I believe Penny is the English equivalent to the Germen pfenning. Both coins used to be silver though, that is why the abbreviation for the penny is "d", for denarius. The denarius was the standard Roman silver coins for centuries.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
