[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] "...UK modern coins. (which reminds me, whatever happened to the shilling?)" Er, you do know we went decimal right? Several decades ago? History: When we went decimal the new currency of 5p was said to be the same as 12d (still pronounced pence) in the old format. The coins looked exactly the same, I believe. Until the early 90s, 5p coins still has "shilling" on them. The more recent smaller size of 5p coins doesn't have it on (since they can't fit it). I should point out though that no-one ever, ever called a 5p a shilling. Where'd you get the bizairre idea that we were still using it? Mary Poppins? :) Let's just check you do have one of each coin (I assume you don't want all the varieties of pictures on them, right? The pound coin has loads). Bronze: 1 pence 2 pence Silver: 10 pence 20 pence 50 pence Gold: 1 pound (also called a quid) 2 pound (also called two quid. Duh.) (There's also �5 (fiver), �10, �20 and �50 pound notes, but you just want coins, right?) [/QB][/QUOTE]
