It's a new term used by bankers to disguise negative interest.
Quantitative cheesing. Or, perhaps disinterest.
And two negative sixpennies would negate a shilling. Or 5 (old) New Pence.
But if we're talking real sixpences....my old Granny use to say my washed face was 'shiny like a sixpence up a sweeps bottom' . My Mother used to shush at her when she said such things, and make more noise in the cutlery drawer. But it was too late, the program had been downloaded.
Why is a well-presented person 'as smart as a carrot' ?
