I immediately got out my "Too May Songs By Tom Lehrer" song book,and couldn't find the song either.

I spent some of my teen years growing up in London and remember well the thrupence ad farthings.

At that time,1959-1962, the exchange rate was $2.80 to the Pound so the 10s note was $1.40 and so on.

And for Wolfang's benefit he wasn't the only one using pennies. An American penny was exactly the same size andweight of the six-pence piece which was about a dime. They worked perfectly in the candy machines and I could get my dosages of Cadbury's Fruit and Nut,cheaply.
