I've a rocking R&B version of this by Louis Jordan with the Chris Barber Band which he must have recorded over in the UK in the early 1960s. He says, in his spoken introduction, it's "about a guy who only had fifty cents, or half-a-crown", so he covers all currency angles.

Please PM me if anyone wants an MP3.
