I always think of pence as 1/100 of a £, but pennies as multiple penny (1p) coins.

I’m not sure whether it’s just me.

No I agree that sums it up well - I can't think of a sentence that would sound natural (as in, sounds like a native BrE speaker said it) and have the same meaning with either one or the other.

Sounds like cents would be the American equivalent in that case.
