Very few countries today use shillings as their currency. As of 2010 the only major countries to use that denomination are in Africa - Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. In addition the 3 countries value their shillings differently so they're not interchangeable.

At one time the shilling was an important money unit in many countries of the British Empire, including Britain itself, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, and others. Today Britain uses decimal pounds, independent Ireland uses the euro, and the others use their own dollars.

Austria used currency called the schilling (pronounced similarly) until it adopted the euro in 2002.
