Common slang name, back in the U.K., and also in Australia to a lesser extent.
From Google...
A sixpence was called a "tanner" either because of John Sigismund Tanner, a Royal Mint engraver who designed a popular sixpence, or from the Romani word "tawno" meaning "small one," referring to its size relative to a shilling. Both theories suggest the name stuck due to the coin's popularity and common usage before British decimalisation in 1971.
