Best Answer

The British Florin was Two Shillings or one-tenth of a Pound. Many of the British Empire/Commonwealth countries also used the Florin.

The modern Florin, not to be confused with English medieval Florin or any of the European Florins, was first issued in 1848 as a tentative step towards decimalisation, and last issued in 1967.

Since the Florin has long been out of circulation, an exchange rate is not possible, but at one-tenth of a Pound, you could equate it to one-tenth of a Dollar, or 10 cents US.

How much is a 1966 Ten Pence coin worth?

Not much, the old 10 pence coins usually sell for about a quarter or so in the US, the 10p coin was reduced in size and so the old large ones (the size of a Florin) are demonetized, but they still sell for about the equivalent exchange rate in the US. However, I believe you got your date wrong as there are no British (or Irish) 10p coins dated 1966. The equivalent coin minted in 1966 would be the Florin, worth 2 shillings.


How much is a tenth of a Florin in worth?

The Florin was introduced into the British currency in 1848 as a tentative step towards decimalisation which was not realised for another 120 years. A Florin was worth 24 Pence or two Shillings or one tenth of a Pound depending on your frame of reference. One tenth of a Florin was equal to 2.4 Pence in the predecimal currency, for which there was no equivalent coin or combination of coins. In the British decimal currency, a Florin converted to 10 New Pence, so one tenth of a Florin converted to One New Penny.
