Penny and dime: the coin emoji for specific coins
There is no dedicated penny emoji or dime emoji. The generic coin emoji πͺ covers all coins, so people use it for any denomination. If the specific coin matters, they type the word next to it, like βpenny πͺβ or βdime πͺβ. In British English, the penny is a small copper-coloured coin; the dime is a US ten-cent coin. The coin emoji works because it is neutral: it shows a generic coin with no denomination.
The coin emoji is usually gold, but its meaning remains βcoinβ rather than any specific value. If you want to be exact, add the word or a number, such as β5p πͺβ or β10Β’ πͺβ. It can also stand for a small amount of money in general.
