As of January 21, 2009, the pound was worth about US$1.39 - thus, 10 shillings would equate to about 70 cents ------------------- All the old money has long since been demonetized and has no value today. If, however, you want to know what modern equivalent trades in it's place, the 50p coin is the nearest to the old 10 shilling note as both are equal to half a pound within their respective systems. If you're looking to establish a numismatic value for a 10 shilling note or 10 1 shilling coins or other old money equivalent then you need to consult a price guide or a dealer.
