Daniel was selected because he interpreted the kings dream, ahd he was not burned in the furnace.
The King's Shilling was last paid to British Army recruits in 1879. This practice involved giving new recruits a shilling as an incentive to join the army, symbolizing their acceptance of military service. The tradition declined as enlistment methods evolved, and the practice was officially discontinued by the end of the 19th century.

Currently £17,000 - £26,000 for a Private soldier - rising with time served and qualifications. Pay increases with Rank. Traditionally British soldiers were paid "a shilling a day" - taking the Kings (Queen's) Shilling being an expression for joining up (they also received a signing on bonus). The "Shilling a Day" still pops up in popular culture.
Recruiting parties from the British Army would coerce men to join the various Regiments by offering them a shilling to sign up. This was often at the bottom of a glass of beer ! The rewards offered were rather different from what the recruit often found to be his experience. Nonetheless the Army was supplied with men on a regular basis to fight the kings enemies..... To Take the Shilling is to join the Army. To sign on. Shoulders back, chin up... Lovely boy, lovely boy ! (Windsor Davies in It ain't 'alf hot, Mum !)
Daniel challege the people by not accepting the the kings meat.
