"That chest must be worth more than a shiny penny."

―Pintel to Ragetti

A penny was a coin (pl. pennies), a type of currency (pl. pence) used in the British Empire. It was often the smallest denomination within a currency system.

Behind the scenes

"Those aren't pieces of eight. Those are just pieces of junk!"
"The original plan was to use coins, but when it came time, the first Pirate Lords didn't have a pence between them."

―Pintel and Joshamee Gibbs

• In Terry Rossio's original script draft for Dead Men Tell No Tales, following the defeat of the Sea Widow and Queen Inez, Hector Barbossa would have complained to Jack Sparrow about being alone and without a single penny.
