How long is the 'four penny' finishing nail?

Explanation:
In nails, the penny size indicates length, with larger pennies meaning longer nails. A four-penny finishing nail is 1-1/2 inches long, a standard length for trim and cabinet work because it provides enough grip without splitting thin stock. Other common lengths exist (shorter or longer), but four-penny finishing nails specifically measure 1-1/2 inches.
