Yesterday marked 56 years since we made the switch from needing two shillings to make a florin and twenty shillings to make a pound and needing to pay a three pence (pronounced threepence) and a two pence (tuppence) halfpenny, with dollars and cents.
How much easier it is to have to pay $6.55 than 6pound, 5s 5d.
