UK unit of currency is the pound sterling divided into 100 pence.
Technically it should be pennys, but most people refer to it as pence even in the singular

Coins are available in values of 1,2,5,10,20,50 pence and 1 and 2 pounds. Notes are 5, 10, 20 and 50 pounds. There are some special issue £5 coins but not in general circulation

Some Scottish banks issue their own notes of up to £100 - Scottish notes are often accepted in England although last time I heard they were not really legal tender.

Prior to decimalisation (1971) the pound was divided into 20 shillings of 12 pence each.
