On the 17th of March John Maidment 'nostalgisized' about names for old British coins. This nostalgia inspired Jack Windsor Lewis (= JWL) to write a blog entry of his own on the topic concentrating on the pronunciation of the coin to be seen to the left. JWL's musings in turn inspired me (what an earthquake of inspirations!) to consult a few old and recent dictionaries and see what they offer as pronunciation(s) for threepenny or threepence.
It's no longer legal tender and ceased to be so after the 31st of August of 1971.

The Phonetic Dictionary of the English Language of 1913 by Hermann Michaelis and Daniel Jones offers these transcriptions of threepence:

- in the Concise Pronouncing Dictionary of British and American English of 1972 by JWL

- in the Advanced Learner's Dictionary of Current English of 1974 (3rd ed. only!) by A.S. Hornby et al.:

- in the Longman Dictionary of the English Language of 1984:

(u stands for the vowel in luck and i for lick)

- in the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary of 2008 (3rd ed.):

There are more beautiful terms for coins such as florin, farthing, sovereign, guinea, crown, groat.
