Shillings were historically a form of currency in the UK, but the switch to a decimal system occurred on February 15, 1971, known as Decimal Day. On that date, the pound was redefined to consist of 100 new pence, replacing the old system where a pound was divided into 20 shillings, with each shilling further divided into 12 pence. This transition effectively phased out shillings, leading to the use of pounds and pence as the standard monetary units.
