The currency of Britain in 1914 was the (predecimal) British Pound Sterling in which one pound (£1) was equal to 20 shillings (20/-) and each shilling was equal to 12 pennies (12d), so one pound was equal to 240 pennies.
There were 12 pennies in one shilling and a florin was a two shilling piece. So, a florin was worth 24 pennies.

The designation was later dropped once the original pre-decimal usage had died out.

To determine the number of pennies in 72 pounds, we first need to know the weight of a single penny. A U.S. penny weighs approximately 2.5 grams, which is equal to 0.00551156 pounds. By dividing 72 pounds by the weight of a single penny, we can calculate that there are approximately 13,055 pennies in 72 pounds.
