The currency now consists of £ (pounds) and p (pennies). Please don't make the mistake of calling a penny a one pence piece, as i have heard it so described, It is a penny. The coinage is:
1p (penny0
2p (Two pence)
Bronze coins
5p (Five pence)
10p (Ten pence)
20p (Twenty pence)
50p (Fifty pence)
Silver
£1
£2
Notes
£5
£10
£20
£50
Beware of £50 notes. Many shops will not accept them due to forgeries.
A £1 is worth, roughly $2
Enjoy your stay in our beautiful country.

£50
And the following denominations in coins:
1p
2p
5p
10p
20p

£1 = ~$2
There are 100p in £1.

Penny Lane is the title of a song by The Beatles, written by Paul McCartney, recorded during the Sgt. Pepper sessions, and released in February, 1967 as one side of a double-A sided single, along with Lennon's "Strawberry Fields Forever". Beatles producer George Martin has stated he believes the pairing of these songs results in probably the greatest single ever released by the group. Both songs were later released on the US Magical Mystery Tour album in November, 1967. The song features contrasting verse-chorus form and was credited "Lennon-McCartney" although McCartney was the sole writer on the song. The song's title is derived from the name of a street in the English city of Liverpool. The area that surrounds its junction with Smithdown Road is also commonly called Penny Lane. Locally the term "Penny Lane" was the name given to Allerton Road and Smithdown Road and its busy shopping area. McCartney and John Lennon grew up in the area and they spent a lot of time playing on Penny Lane junction as children. The street is an important landmark, sought out by most Beatles fans touring Liverpool. In the past, street signs saying "Penny Lane" were constant targets of tourist theft and had to be continually replaced. Eventually, city officials gave up and simply began painting the street name on the sides of buildings. This is still the case at the Smithdown Road junction, but there is a conventional sign at the other end of the street.

yes, but 1p and 2p should be scrapped, however the 99p 'invention' is the reason for having coppers (as we call them) of little use though, people just give them to charity, as for the other pence - I only use in vending machines, we have such things as credit cards here in the UK
