What does PENNY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small coin representing the smallest unit of currency in several countries, equal to one hundredth of a pound in the United Kingdom or one cent in the United States.
A penny is worth so little on its own that the word has drifted into idioms about small amounts of money, as when someone says a good idea is not worth a penny or that saving small sums adds up penny by penny. The British penny and the American penny, often called a cent, differ in value and design, but both occupy the same lowest rung of their currency system. Older British usage still echoes in phrases like a penny for your thoughts, a saying that predates decimal currency by centuries.
How PENNY is used
Used both literally for the coin and figuratively in idioms about very small amounts of money or thought.
