From Good Omens : "Notes for young people and Americans on the workings of the original British Monetary system.
One shilling = 5p
Two farthings = One Ha’penny. Two Ha’pennies = One Penny. Three Pennies = One Thrupenny Bit. Two Thrupences = A Sixpence. Two Sixpences = One Shilling or Bob. Two Bob = A Florin. One Florin and One Sixpence = Half a Crown. Four Half Crowns = Ten Bob Note. Two Ten Bob Notes = One Pound (or 240 pennies). One Pound and One Shilling = One Guinea.
The British resisted decimalised currency for a long time because they thought it was too complicated."
