here were 4 farthings to a penny, 12 penniess to a shilling, two shillings to a florin, two and half shillings to a half crown, and 20 shillings to a pound ... and the coins were farthing, halfpenny, penny, threepence, sixpence, shilling, two shilling and half crown (and by now those of you with 'metricated heads' are spinning!)
Thank you for the above, when reading a book about England, and it mentions their money, I never had a clue about how much it would be in dollars etc.
I was raised on the metric system, so much easier than yours for sure
