It was a UK system, not exclusively english. We (the UK) abandoned this madness sometime in the 1970's I'm 37 and I barely remember it.
So, its not in use, anymore.
I'm quite interested about what ammounts you can use on day-by-day transactions, like buying some bread by the morning and an orange juice can by the night. What is the current monetary units on UK, today?
There were also halfpennies and farthings (which were 1/4 pennies).> florins; Guinney; crowns; half crowns;
Other commonly used values: Tuppence; Thrupence; sixpence;
Really, a true nightmare... I'm a kind confuse, right now... but this is funny. =-] Thank you Andrew. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Luis Campos de Carvalho Computer Scientist, Unix Sys Admin & Certified Oracle DBA http://br.geocities.com/monsieur_champs/ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
