[QUOTE]Originally posted by Phoenix: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [qb] How about all your nicknames for combinations of currency? I thought pound=bob=quid=guinea for the longest time until I discovered a guinea is actually a pound and a shilling. --Jonah [/qb][/QUOTE]And a bob is a shilling. Then you have a florin (2 shillings), a crown (5 shillings), a farthing (1/4 of a penny, from the word "fourthing"), and the self explanatory names for the small coins (halfpenny, pronounced hayp'ny, twopence, pronounced tup'nce, threepence, pronounced thrup'nce, and sixpence, pronounced sixp'nce). Oh, and the one pound coin used to be called a sovereign. [/QB][/QUOTE]
