Old English Money

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
