Saturday Trivia

The answer to yesterday's question is:
India.

Today's question is:
From which Roman bronze coin comes the “d” symbol which was used well into the 20th century to represent British pence (e.g., 2s 6d meant “2 shillings, 6 pence”)?

Don't forget to come back tomorrow for a very deep Theme Week! (Have I given enough clues yet as to the theme?)
