Hi,

> Neither me nor units(1) has ever heard of farthing.

1/4 of a penny. Had a picture of a wren on one side. When my mother was a
young girl her mother would occasionally have a farthing to spare,
which she would give to her 5 children. They would rush off down
to the shop and buy one stick of liquorice to share between the 5 of
them.

Luxury!
