Halfpenny (British decimal coin) Halfpenny (British decimal coin) The British decimal halfpenny (p) coin was introduced in February 1971, at the time of decimalisation, and was worth one two-hundredth of a pound sterling. It was ignored in banking transactions, which were carried out in units of 1p. The decimal halfpenny had the same value as 1.2 pre-decimal pence, and was introduced to enable the prices of some low-value items to be more accurately translated to the new decimal currency. The possibility of setting prices including an odd half penny also made it more practical to retain the pre-decimal sixpence in circulation (with a value
Decimal enough (for all "n" greater than some natural number "N"). If all "d" for "n" > "N" equal to 9 and the limit of the sequence formula_9 is the decimal fraction obtained by replacing the last digit that is not a 9, i.e.: "d", by "d" + 1, and replacing all subsequent 9s by 0s (see 0.999...). Any such decimal fraction, i.e., "d" = 0 for "n" > "N", may be converted to its equivalent infinite decimal expansion by replacing "d" by "d" − 1, and replacing all subsequent 0s by 9s (see 0.999...). In summary, every real number that
