Scotshistorical
A small Scottish coin of low value, once a silver piece worth a few pennies and later a halfpenny.
The bawbee was first struck in Scotland in the early sixteenth century and became one of the best-known coins of the country. Over time the name came to stand for any trifling sum, so that a person who counted every bawbee was a person who watched money very closely. The commoner spelling of the word is bawbee, while baubee is a rarer variant of the same name.
