Prior to the decimalisation of many currencies during the 20th century, Britain and many of the British Empire/Commonwealth countries used Pounds, Shillings and Pence as their currency.

Now the United Kingdom including England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, use the British Pound (GBP) of 100 Pence.

Many British dependencies and Overseas Territories including the Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man use their own currencies with their own designs, but they are of almost identical shape, weight and construction as the British equivalents, and these currencies are pegged at par with the British currency.
