a penny (1d). Also referred to money generally, from the late 1600s, when the slang was based simply on a metaphor of coal being an essential commodity for life. The spelling cole was also used.

When operators used to talk to each other they first used the phrase “loud and clear†to describe their reception among each other. With a desire to be more precise, they adopted a numerical scale from one to five. Shortly thereafter, these radio operators incorporated the phrase 'five by five' ('five out of five for volume and clarity' i.e. 'loud and clear.'). So '5 by 5 means 'I hear you loud and clear.'
