A bodle or boddle or bodwell, also known as a half groat or Turner was a Scottish copper coin, of less value than a bawbee, worth about one-sixth of an English penny, first issued under Charles II. They were minted until the coronation of Anne. Its name may derive from Bothwell (a mint-master).〔 It is mentioned in one of the songs of Joanna Baillie: :Black Madge, she is prudent, has sense in her noddle :Is douce and respectit; I carena a bodle. The use of the word survives in the anglicised phrase "not to care a bodle",〔 which Brewer glosses as "not to care a farthing". Something similar appears in Burns' ''Tam o' Shanter'' (line 110), it is also mentioned: :Fair play, he car'd na deils a boddle (He cared not devils a bodle) ==See also== *Plack *Pound Scots *Scottish coinage In Sunderland, County Durham, in the North of England there is a well known as the Bodelwell. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bodle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
