In this video:
The word “penny” may have come from the English ruler Penda, King of Mencia (an Anglo-Saxton kingdom in today’s English midlands). During his reign from 626 AD to 655 AD, he issued coins that were called “pending.” To further this theory along, the old English word word for penny is “penige.” In fact, the Danish still uses the word “Penge” for their money.
