Pounds, Shillings and Pence, the ‘old money’ system abandoned in the UK in the early 1970s was notoriously confusing. There were 12 pence in a shilling and 20 shillings in a pound (240 pence in a pound). The United Kingdom was the last country to abandon this tiresome, impractical, non-decimal system, but Richard Vobes wants it back for his own unhinged reasons.
