Although the plural form of penny is pence for a specific sum of money (10 pence, 24 pence) and pennies for the coins as objects (a bag of pennies), in Italian the invariable loanword penny is used: 10 penny, 24 penny, una borsa di penny. Alternatively, the equivalent centesimo (plural form centesimi) may be used.
