If you refer to any of the currently circulating Shillings such as the Kenyan, Somali, Tanzanian or Ugandan Shillings, take them to a currency exchange office.
If you refer to the Shillings of any of the redundant British or British Empire/Commonwealth currencies, take them to a coin dealer.
This is a hard question to answer for a few reasons, assuming you mean British shillings because the shilling is no longer used in the UK. The pre-decimal system prior to 1971 was 12 pence to the shilling and 20 shillings to the pound. Therefore when the British pound became decimalized a shilling was equal to 5 new pence. So 2,000 shillings would be equal to 100 pounds. At the moment that translates to $158 US dollars. However, the exchange rate wasn't always the same. Similarly, inflation has made it that a sum of 100 pounds (2,000 shillings) would be worth substantially more in a historical context than today.
There were 20 Shillings in One Pound so, if you consider having 10,000 Pounds as being rich, is would take 200,000 Shillings to be rich.
One US dollar is equal to 84.45 Kenyan shillings.
15 Shillings would be about 70 dollars in todays money. How cool is that?
Half crowns, florins, pounds, shillings, and pence. A pound consisted of 20 shillings, and a shilling consisted of 12 pence. A half crown was 2 shillings and 6 pence. A florin was 2 shillings. They had "notes". These notes were to England as dollars were to the US.

The British Shilling and the Shillings of most other Commonwealth countries are part of long redundant currencies which no longer have exchange rates with any other currency. There were 20 Shillings in a Pound and 12 Pence in a Shilling. The British currency changeover occurred in 1971. Ten Shillings converted to 50 New Pence. 10 British Shillings in 1969 had the purchasing power of about £5.50 GBP today. 10 British Shillings in 1969 had the purchasing power of about $8.83 USD today.

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.
Fifteen Shillings in 1763 had the purchasing power of about £73.58 GBP today. NOTE - This historical conversion is the result of many calculations and considerations by a purpose designed program. The resulting answer should only be regarded as an approximation based on current exchange rates.
