What Does " PENNY " Mean?

The penny system of designating nail size originated in england many years ago. Ten penny, four penny, etc., nails derived their names from the fact that one hundred nails of that size cost tenpence, fourpence, etc.
Today the penny represents not cost, but the definite length of nails measured from the head to the tip of the point.
The term "penny" is still shown by using the English pence sign-d.
Nails start at the 2 d size which is 1″ in length. They range up to 60 d size which is 6″ in length.
The 2 d through 16 d increase in quarter-inch increments; thus a 2 d nail is 1″ , a 3 d nail is 1¼″, etc. Those above 16 d increase by ½″ increments. Length of nails that are shorter then 2 d or longer then 60 d is shown in inches( or fractions thereof ).
