  • A shilling used to be 12 pence, and there were 20 shillings in a pound for 240 pence to the pound, before we decimalised.

    A dime is 10 cent, but that’s just the name for the coin. Shillings used to be a part of the number system which was split into three tiers, not two with a decimal place.

    Bob used to be slang for a shilling, not a pound.

    We’ve never had the euro. The Republic of Ireland uses the euro, but if you call them British you’ll get into real trouble.
