That's because you are filthy rich. By the standards of most people in history, a copper penny is a fairly large unit - at least a substantial chunk of a day's pay. To be sure kings and merchants might tell you the silver or gold coinage was the accounting standard, but that wasn't what ordinary people (or mercenary adventurers) ran their household budgets on.
