The Four Pennies were an English, 1960s pop group, most notable for their 1964 UK chart-topping song "Juliet". The group's name came after a meeting above the Blackburn music shop owned by Mary Reidy, the shop being situated on "Penny Street", where it is still located today as "Reidy's Home of Music". The name was chosen as a more commercial alternative to "The Lionel Morton Four". The shop is still owned by the Reidy family.

Famous quotes containing the word pennies:
“There is probably not more than one hundred dollars in cash in circulation today. That is, if you were to call in all the bills and silver and gold in the country at noon tomorrow and pile them on the table, you would find that you had just about one hundred dollars, with perhaps several Canadian pennies and a few peppermint Life Savers.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
