Maybe colloquial, but we always called it a thupenny/threpenny bit or we spent thrupence/threpence.

[Lustrousstone]

I meant to say pronunciations - any of the above

Threepence was the going rate for a packet of crisps.  There was a big dog who frequented the same bar as me and if you gave him a threepenny bit he would always go and buy himself a packet.

9d for Woodies.

This really is a glass related question 

[Lustrousstone]

And you could get a pe* for 2d not 20 pence (4 bob!) or more

[a40ty]

And what about the good old halfpence, or haypney?

[Lustrousstone]

Or even the farthing - I rather liked the little Jenny Wrens on them

[johnphilip]

And you could buy a packet of two Woodbines, if we dont get rid of the incompetants that are screwing us it will be back to a pack of two they are like leeches sucking the blood out of the motorist to subsidize their incompetance. there i go again angry,and i dont smoke.
