The basic unit is the pound sterling ("pound", for short), currently worth about 1.33 Euro or 1.96 US dollars. The pound is divided into 100 "new pence" (so-called to distinguish them from the pre-decimalisation "old pence", of which there were 240 in a pound), however the word "new" has not appeared on coinage since 1982. Coins are minted in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 pence as well as 1 pound and 2 pounds; banknotes are issued for 5, 10 and 20 pounds (larger notes exist, but are less commonly used). Since the five pence coin has the same value as the pre-decimal shilling, it is sometimes still referred to as a shilling. "Quid" is a common slang term for a pound.
