Text 6. Coining a phrase (idioms with the word coin)
There are a lot of expressions in English which use the names of British coins. Since decimalization in 1971, some of the coins no longer exist, but the expressions are still alive!
If you take care of the pennies, the pounds will take care of themselves, because if you take care of the small things, the large things will be all right; however, if you are penny wise, pound foolish, you are careful in small matters but wasteful in large ones. When you are in for a penny, you are in for a pound, because once you have started something you should see it through. If somebody doesnt care twopence, they dont care at all. If you ride a penny-farthing, you are rather old-fashioned, because it is a very old bicycle with an enormous front wheel and a very small back wheel. Finally, if you say that something cost a pretty penny, you mean it cost a lot of money.
