The Shilling has always been 1/20th of a British Pound.
In 1802, a shilling was worth 12 pence in British currency. This was part of the pre-decimal system where there were 20 shillings in a pound. Therefore, a shilling was equivalent to 1/20th of a pound. The value of a shilling in terms of purchasing power would have varied depending on the economic conditions of the time.
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.
In 1900, the value of 1 British pound was approximately equivalent to about $4.87 in U.S. dollars. However, this value can vary based on the specific economic conditions and exchange rates of the time. Additionally, considering inflation and changes in purchasing power, the pound's value in today's terms would be significantly higher.
According to one calculation, a pound sterling in 1400 was worth 542 pounds in 1999. Inflation since 1999 makes that 820 pounds and 53 pence in 2014. A shilling was therefore worth about 41 pounds in 2014 money and a penny was worth 3.5 pounds. You can see why they divided pennies into groats.
In 1900, one British pound was worth approximately $4.86 in U.S. dollars. This value reflects the exchange rates and economic conditions of the time, which were significantly different from today. However, due to inflation and changes in purchasing power, the actual value of a pound in terms of contemporary goods and services would be much higher today.

The sign for the British Shilling was an S if a sign was required. £1/2/6 or £1/2/6d represented One Pound, Two Shillings and Sixpence. The Shilling value is between the Pound value and the Penny value, so it does not need a sign. The position of the 2 makes the value Two Shillings. 2/6d represented Two Shillings and Sixpence. The Shilling value precedes the Penny value, so it does not need a sign. The position of the 2 makes the value Two Shillings. If the need arose to indicate an even Shilling value, it was written as 2/-, indicating Two Shillings and zero Pence or, 2S, indicating Two Shillings.
