Andrew Fisher, Labor Prime Minister of Australia, at the outbreak of the First World War, declared, "Australians will stand beside our own to help and defend Britain to our last man and our last shilling." Division over support of the war and conscription would later lead to a split in the ALP, after Fisher was succeeded by William "Billy" Hughes.
He promised that he would back Britain to 'his last man and his last shilling'.

The shilling was last used as a currency in the United Kingdom in 1990, when it was officially replaced by the pound following decimalization in 1971. However, the term "shilling" continues to be used in some contexts, such as in historical references or in certain Commonwealth countries where it was previously circulated. In some regions, the shilling is still in use, like in Kenya and Tanzania.
