You would have loved the eccentric pre decimal British Sterling (Up till 1971)
2 farthings = 1 ha'penny
4 farthings = 1 penny
12 pennies = 1 shilling
20 shillings = 1 pound
and the sub coins
2 shillings a florin
5 shillings a crown
2 shillings and sixpence = half a crown
1 pound+ 1 shilling = a guinea
How we British schoolboys envied your nice simple Dollars and cents
