So a penny (d) is different to p? Flipping heck

Oz took the 10/- note as their new decimal currency, so there were 2 oz dollars to the pound.

I suppose that explains why the 5c coin is now the smallest.

That's the symbol for a shilling isn't it? I only know that because I used to drink 80/- beer back in my skool days.

Yup.

2.4d in 1p.

As in 240d in £1 as against 100p.

Quite simple really.
