I'm not interested in more money for the sake of it. You're aware that if you're nicking all the budget, somebody else is getting threepence ha'penny, or the production values aren't going to be so high.

English Actor

Karl Philipp Moritz

All over London as one walks, one everywhere, in the season, sees oranges to sell; and they are in general sold tolerably cheap, one and even sometimes two for a halfpenny; or, in our money, threepence.

German Author

Understand that 'threepence' reflects historical currency value, not aligned with modern money amounts.

Historical Value

'Threepence' can evoke a sense of old British culture and times gone by.

Cultural Imagery

The term is often used literally to refer to the coin, not the amount.
