just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 02/22/2016 3:53 pm Never worry about the usage of PENNY. Remember this is America and we call all our money different things. We have 2 bits, a fin, penny, nickel, saw buck, note, bill and lots more. We can and do use whatever terminology we want for what ever we want. And also, try coppercoins.com Report this Post to the Staff
