There were 20 Shillings in One Pound prior to decimalisation. In the 1960's, One Pound would have been a very nice amount to have in your pocket, and you could probably do the weekly grocery shopping with it.

Yes, that was quite a lot of money. Ten shillings was the amount of pay a skilled labourer (we're talking a union man here) would get in a biweekly pay period. Six shillings was five percent of an unskilled labourer's annual income. Also bear in mind that a shilling could buy you about six loaves of bread and twelve dozen apples.

All I know is that King Henry VIII made outrageous taxes. so there is no doubt that he would demand at least 60 shillings or more? If £5.00 was a lot of money in World War 2, then 60 shillings (£3.00) would be an awful lot of money. I think that he would price his money there-ish.I hope this is somehow useful, but it isn't accurate.From,Anonymous


What money did the british use in 1200s?

Duodecimal coinage, as used until 1971. (Twelve pennies to a shilling, twenty shillings to a pound.) Coins dating from 1860 were still in regular use until that date, including the gold sovereign (one pound), the Florin (two shillings), the Half Crown (two shillings and sixpence), and the Farthing, which was a quarter of an old penny. And 21 shillings made one guinea. In the early 19th century, there was also the Groat (four pence).
