QUIZ QUESTION: SPEND A PENNY

Speaking of phrase origins and meaning, here's a numismatic quiz.
When used in euphemistic terms, what does the phrase "Spend a Penny"
mean, and how did it first arise?  Hint: it's primarily a British
term, so extra credit for any yank who can tell us the answer.  I
hadn't heard it before.
