What is 5 and 6 pence worth in American money?
The expression "5 and 6 pence" means "5 shillings and 6 pence", and refers to the monetary system used in Great Britain prior to decimalization in 1968. Under the "£sd" system (which stands for Pounds-Shillings-Pence), there were 12 pence to a shilling and 20 shillings to a pound. Thus "5 and 6 pence" would mean 5.5 shillings or 5.5/20ths of a pound - 27.5p in today's decimal terms. While shillings and the old style pence no longer circulate, 27.5p would be about 40 US cents as of mid-January 2010. The exchange rate has changed over time, however, and if you are asking as it relates to a historical period (where the exchange rate, currently about GBP1.00=US$1.60, may have been markedly different), you should probably look into the exchange rate at that time, as well as inflation or cost of living since that time, to get an equivalent real value.
