I once heard a mother advise her daughter to ‘Keep your hand on your ha'penny.'
I was only a boy, but I got the general drift.
A ‘ha’penny’, by the way was a halfpenny, pronounced ‘haypny’.

Don't take any wooden nickles
There’s a song, Alan
Heard this at a panto as a kid, and didn’t get why the adults were laughing:

Dad always warned me about taking wooden nickels. Then again, he did want to sent me to the local store to buy some powdered electricity.
