A Trumpence to me, sounds like an olde English synonym for pittance. Hopefully, I’m wrong.


I believe your thinking of tuppence, or twopence, i.e. two copper pennies.

Tuppence to spend, tuppence to lend and tuppence to send home to my wife, poor wife.

From memory from when I was in first grade, 65 years ago.
