Otherwise, fact Smile

The size of a nail is measured in pennies. The greater the number of pennies, the longer the nail. This measurement system originated in England in the 15th century. People paid a certain number of penies 100 nails of that size. For example, two pennies would be traded for 100 two-penny nails. The penny measurement is abbreviated by the letter d, which comes from a Roman coin called denarius.

Sherlock Holmes never said, "Elementary, my dear Watson."
