Threepence

Though in some regions of the country (including my own flattened North Country vowel sounds) it is pronounced thruppence, it is spelt threepence.

The threepenny bit - or Joey as it was called - also doubles as a bit of rhyming slang for certain bodily functions. No similarity to Equifax should be inferred.
