Thread Name: Songs About Money
Subject: RE: Songs About Money
Yes, Azizi: d was the abbreviation for pence [from Latin 'denarii', I learned at school] until we went decimal in 1971, when it became p. For one of my age d still comes naturally; & of course all the songs in which I have used d are much older than our present decimal currency.
