Can you spare a shilling?

In the UK before 1971, there was a different monetary system in place, with three basic levels - pounds, shillings and pence.\nPence is another word for pennies, or single coins like 1 cent pieces.\nIn the old "Imperial" system, it worked like this:\n1/4 of a penny = farthing\n1/2 of a penny = half-penny (or ha'penny)\n1 penny = 1 "pence"\n3 pence - Threepenny piece (or Thruppenny Bit)\n6 pence - Sixpence\n12 pence = 1 shilling\n20 shillings = 1 pound \nMaking 240 pennies, or pence, to the pound.\n\nThere were other coins amounting to specific amounts within the system. The Florin, for instance, was worth two shillings (or 24 pence). The Half-Crown, just for fun, was worth two shillings and six pence (30 pence in total) and the Crown, understandably, was worth two Half-Crowns (equivalent to 5 shillings, or 70 pence). And finally the Guinea, which was worth one pound and one shilling (21 shillings, or 252 pence)\n\nIn 1971, the UK joined the metric system, based on there being 100 pence in every pound. The currency was also revalued, so that a shilling was now only worth 5 pence, rather than 12, so that there were still 20 shillings in a pound (largely to help people deal with the change when budgetting their weekly shopping!)\n\nAs far as I know the Crown and Half-Crown are no longer in active use - if you think about it, a half-crown, being worth two shillings and six pence, would now be a coin worth 16 pence, which is a little unweildy for shopping purposes. And similarly, the crown, being worth five shillings, would now be worth one pound twenty-five pence.\n\nSo now in the UK, we have the following units\n1p - one penny or one pence\n2p - two pence\n5p - five pence (one shilling)\n10p - ten pence (two shillings)\n20p - twenty pence (for some reason, calling this four shilings hasn't caught on)\n50p - fifty pence (ten shillings)\n£1 - one pound\n£2 - two pounds - the newest coin to be introduced. After this we go to notes, with £5 being the first.\n\nHowever, just to confuse matters even further, you'll still find mention of guineas and crowns in particular settings - several high-profile horse races award prizes in guineas and crowns. But for the majority of the population, they don't exist as actual coins any more. Incidentally, while researching this answer, I've discovered there was also a half-guinea and a five-guinea coin prior to decimalisation. \n\nSource(s):\n\nhttp://www.johnowensmith.co.uk/histdate/...\nhttp://www.simetric.co.uk/si_imperial.ht...\nhttp://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl...\nhttp://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl...

No, but if people think that you can they will give you money. Look on the web for a palm reading chart, then make it up as you go along, just tell people what they want to hear.
