Question about English (UK)
How do you say this in English (UK)? Quarter, Nickel, Dime, Penny
Native language
English (UK)
1p - Penny
2p - 2p, but if we have a few 1ps and 2ps we call them 'coppers'. If we have quite a lot some might call them 'shrapnel'. Pay someone with them and say "Sorry for the shrapnel."
5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, no special name.
£1 - a pound or a quid.
£5 - Five pound, five pound note or 'a fiver'
£10 - as above, plus 'a tenner'
£20 and £50 notes, I don't think have nicknames.

@Lechuzha has it pretty spot on although there are cockney slang words for £5 and above, although a lot of the higher value money slang words aren't really used.
£5 is a fiver as you already said.
£10 is a tenner as you already said.
£20 is a score
£25 is a pony
£50 is a bullseye

1p and 2ps tends to be called coppers because of their colour (i think)
