uh oh, I think I'm in trouble I don't know what the U.S. six pence equivelant would be, would have to do some research on this one.
Besides I've only heard this said using "six pence"
Thanks for the comments. I'm so glad you all have such a wonderful imagination figure out my little characters

I asked my (American) husband about the poem too, and he also said he'd
only heard it using "sixpence".
Now the UK is metric, the original silver sixpence coin no longer exsists, as currency.
I used to save all my sixpences - now I have to save dimes.
Enjoyed this level Cathy. Very appropiately crooked and winding. I was glad it was too crooked for those dogs to get me. The kids will have fun with this.
I still have a few old sixpences. I tend to keep a couple of coins every time there are currency changes, just as a memento. Sixpence is about the same size as our new 5p coin. I found an old US dime as well which is about the same size.
Thank you Liz. I too have a small collection of old and unusual coins that I have been holding onto. Probably won't be of much value but I thought if I held onto them maybe one of the kids could benefit.
