      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.

              Yup.

              10/-.

              10 bob note etc etc.

              1/- being a "bob" by the way.
