Both Shillings and Pounds belonged to a now redundant currency used by most British Commonwealth countries prior to the adoption of their own "decimal" currencies.

There were 12 Pennies in a Shilling and 20 Shillings in a Pound (£).

The Pound, of any quantity, was often referred to by the slang term "Quid".
