My wife mentioned that it has been 50 years since the introduction of decimalisation, so I thought a related article would be of interest. Do you know the origins of pounds, shillings and pence? When was the new 50 pence piece introduced? When were the old coins taken out of circulation? Britain was one of the last countries to go decimal but which was the first? What was the value of a shilling and half a crown in decimal currency? To find out the answers to these questions and more related information please select the following link:
