For 1812 multiply by 80 or slightly more to get a modern equivalent, but please note that some things were much cheaper in real terms in 1812, for example, property. (One could buy a very substantial house (8 bedrooms plus) for £3,000 in 1812). Tea and coffee, on the other hand were very expensive. Postage was extremely expensive in real terms. In 1812 Britain was at war, and food prices were rather high. These comparisons are often tricky.

How much is 10 shillings in todays money?

10 shillings in _1830_ would be about $500 in '14. 10 shillings in _1930_ would be about $114 in '14. (Used concertina.com/calculator and the exchange rate converter built into Google.) ------------------- Presuming that you are referring to British shillings, there were 20 to the pound; thus, 10 shillings would be half a pound. As of January 21, 2009, the pound was worth about US$1.39 - thus, 10 shillings would equate to about 70 cents ------------------- All the old money has long since been demonetized and has no value today. If, however, you want to know what modern equivalent trades in it's place, the 50p coin is the nearest to the old 10 shilling note as both are equal to half a pound within their respective systems. If you're looking to establish a numismatic value for a 10 shilling note or 10 1 shilling coins or other old money equivalent then you need to consult a price guide or a dealer.

How much is 100 guineas in pounds?

A "guinea" is an old British term for one pound plus one shilling, pre Britain's change in 1971 to decimal currency. Pre 1971 pounds were split into shillings and pence. There were 20 shillings in a pound and 12 pence in each shilling. There were therefore 240 pence in a pre-decimal pound. A shilling is 1/20 of a pound. Therefore 100 guineas = 100 pounds +5 pounds.= 105 pounds. At todays exchange rate of 0.643030 pounds to the dollar, this would convert to $163.290.
