The Bremen is a 1 grote, the GB with William IV is a maundy piece, while the GB with Victoria is actually a play piece made by Lauer from Germany...

From the US Mint website:

"Following is a brief chronology of the metal composition of the cent coin (penny)"

If the people who make them can call them pennies (among other things), I think everyone else can, too.

The above failed attempt for a humorous remark was meant as a PM. Apologies.

The small "British" one at top right is a piece of German-made play money, with the manufacturer's details replacing the queen's titles: CHR:LAUER NURNBERG.
