What's a Truepenny?

Do you like words? 
Being a writer, I love words. I get one from Dictionary.com every day. 
Some seem very obscure and I don't think I'd ever use them, but  every once in awhile there's one I'd like to share.  Today's word describes something we need more of in this world. 

truepenny   

\TROO-pen-ee\    noun --  a trusty, honest fellow.

How the word's been used:

Ha, ha, boy, say'st thou so, art thou there trupenny?
-- William Shakespeare, Hamlet, 1604

"A very nice sermon," said Mr. truepenny, trying to say something.
-- Punch - Volume 25 (Jul-Dec 1853)

These quotes are historical, can you add one that is hysterical?  (or at least different?)   If so, please add in the comments.
