I think I would have used the plural form 0 pence
, but note that English is not my first language ;-)
I guess it also depends on the language. In Icelandic I think it's custom to say 0 krónur
(plural) instead of 0 króna
(singular).

In english only 1 is considered as singular, zero is always considered as plural. It seems correct to me.

In English, a zero value is always followed by a plural form. Note that plural forms can be adjusted per locale.
