Oh I well remember farthings. That lovely little wren on them! Black Jack chews weren't very nice, I preferred salad chews for a ha'penny each. Many items were sold in shops for eg 'two and elevenpence three farthings', which of course was just a farthing short of three shillings, but it sounded less. And a penny was a huge coin compared to the 'one pee' of today. We liked to get a bun penny, which had Queen Victoria as a young woman with her hair in a bun.
