I believe this means that these 5 Pennies was worth 1 cent each, and they
will always be worth 1 cent; the value of "Pennies" never changes.

This means that you got 5 pennies for a price of 1 cent each. To be more
clear,

   Assets:Stocks          100 GOOG @ $80

Means you bought 100 shares of GOOG at $80 each, but the value of GOOG may
increase in the future. So if Ledger sees later that 1 GOOG is worth $200,
then it will revalue the original 100 GOOG to be worth $20,000.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong John :)
