If people still know about the British half penny (pronounced haypenny) it’s because it’s mentioned in that xmas carol. There’s a ton of old currency that no one cares about and no one will miss the penny. I thought it only survived as long as it did because it’s got Lincoln on it and IL (his birthplace) didn’t want the symbol to go away
