pence

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for pence that I've seen before include "Copper coins" , "Small-value coins" , "Small quantity of money" , "Small sum of money" , "Fractions of a pound" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
