Elevenpence is an archaic British English term for the sum of eleven old pennies — a denomination that existed under the pre-decimal currency system where twelve pennies made one shilling. The term is now entirely obsolete following the UK's decimalisation of currency in 1971. It might appear in historical literature, period drama, or academic discussions of pre-decimal British money. Outside of these contexts, it has no functional use in modern speech. Its survival is purely historical.
