Pre-decimal currency in Britain (before 1971)In these days of the decimalisation of currency, it is difficult to understand the currency used in Britain before the country 'went decimal' on 15 February 1971 ("1971, year of the con").

Money was divided into pounds (£) shillings (s) and pennies (d). Thus, 4 pounds, eight shillings and fourpence would be written as £4/8/4d. or £4-8-4d. The "L S D" stands for the Latin words "libra", "solidus" and "denarius".

There were 20 shillings in £1 - a shilling was often called 'bob', so 'ten bob' was 10/-. 12 pennies in 1 shilling or 240 pennies in £1.
