The english monetary system before decimalization in 1971 is quite complex and clearly impressive :
2 farthings = 1 halfpenny
2 halfpence = 1 penny
12 pence = 1 shilling
2 shillings = 1 florin
2 shillings and 6 pence = 1 half crown
5 shillings = 1 Crown
1 Pound = 20 shillings
1 Guinea = one pound and one shilling = 21 shillings
