halfpennies
Old British coins
Halfpennies is the plural of halfpenny, a British coin worth half a penny.
This form emphasizes the individual coins as countable objects: She had three halfpennies in her pocket.
The alternative plural halfpence refers to the amount or value rather than the coins themselves.
The halfpenny was withdrawn from circulation in 1984.
