Small coins (5)

I think it could be either:

cents

pence

'small coins' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for pence that I've seen before include "Old coins" , "some European capital" , "p" , "Small sum of money" , "''Take care of the ..... and the pounds will take care of themselves''" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Times.
