There were 20 Shillings in One Pound prior to decimalisation. In the 1960's, One Pound would have been a very nice amount to have in your pocket, and you could probably do the weekly grocery shopping with it.
The money of the renaissance was called shillings.
All I know is that King Henry VIII made outrageous taxes. so there is no doubt that he would demand at least 60 shillings or more? If £5.00 was a lot of money in World War 2, then 60 shillings (£3.00) would be an awful lot of money. I think that he would price his money there-ish.I hope this is somehow useful, but it isn't accurate.From,Anonymous
There were 20 shilling in one pound. Therefore 15 shillings would equal 75 pence in todays money.
Well, honey, 15 shillings back in the day would be roughly equivalent to around 75 pence in today's money. But let's be real, who even uses shillings anymore? Just think of it as a couple of coins jingling in your pocket that you could probably find under your couch cushions.
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.
twenty shillings in a pound
Yes, that was quite a lot of money. Ten shillings was the amount of pay a skilled labourer (we're talking a union man here) would get in a biweekly pay period. Six shillings was five percent of an unskilled labourer's annual income. Also bear in mind that a shilling could buy you about six loaves of bread and twelve dozen apples.

The Sterling currency - pounds, shillings, and pence. There were quite a lot of paper and coin denominations.

Duodecimal coinage, as used until 1971. (Twelve pennies to a shilling, twenty shillings to a pound.) Coins dating from 1860 were still in regular use until that date, including the gold sovereign (one pound), the Florin (two shillings), the Half Crown (two shillings and sixpence), and the Farthing, which was a quarter of an old penny. And 21 shillings made one guinea. In the early 19th century, there was also the Groat (four pence).
With money of course! Just with their type of money, which was called Shillings (Most known as shillings!) Hope this helped! x
