10 shillings in _1830_ would be about $500 in '14. 10 shillings in _1930_ would be about $114 in '14.

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.

The currency of England was unchanged from the middle ages until decimalisation in 1971. The currency was pounds, shillings and pence. 4 farthings = 1 penny (1d = 4 x ¼d) 12 pence = 1 shilling (1/- = 12d) 20 shillings = one pound (£1 = 20/-) That gave £1 = 960 Farthings. The farthing was abolished before decimalisation as its value had become so low. There was also an alternative top-level unit, the guinea. 1 Guinea = 21 shillings. Large amounts were sometimes quoted in Guineas instead of pounds Examples of how amounts were written: 2½d = Two and a half pence, pronounced: "Tuppence Ha'penny". 6d = Sixpence = half of a shilling. 10/- = 10 shillings 10/6 = 10 shillings and six pence £5/7/6 = 5 pounds, 7 shillings and sixpence. Since 1971, £1 = 100p (pence). The pound was unchanged by decimalisation, but its value has significantly decreased because of inflation.
