The name groat was given in the Middle Ages to all thick silver coins, as opposed to thin silver coins such as deniers or pennies. In about 1560 the word fourpence came to replace the word groat.

2 groats = 8 pennies = approx 3 pence = approx 5 US cents

Two groats! It used to be a "penny for your thoughts", then it went up to my "two cents worth"! Now it's a nickel!?

btw- one reason not to bad mouth monhulls, is that they might be disenclined to invite you back to their party. On the "Lake Eustis" site, I didn't see a lot of info. about cats.
