Use of “pence” to refer to sum of money, or the total amount of money that the author puts aside to buy what the amount is used for.

If the word “pence” is used, “pence” is mean money. It went on to say that the term pence was used to refer to a sum of money. I was pretty dubious about this statement, partly because I never heard anybody say pence in my stay in the US.
Can anybody back up this fact? The only source of information I got (other than UK currencies) that supports anything like this was Wikipedia.
