What does PENNI mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A former Finnish coin and monetary unit, equal to one hundredth of a markka.
Finland used the penni as small change from the nineteenth century until it adopted the euro in 2002, much as pennies once served alongside pounds in Britain. One hundred penni made up a single markka, the main unit of Finnish currency before the changeover. The coin survives now only in old price tags, coin collections and history books about Nordic currency.
