  5. 4 fathings = 1 penny

    2 fathings = 1 ha'penny

    12 pence = 1 shilling (a "bob")

    24 pence = 2 shillings (2 bob or a "florin")

    30 pence = two and six (half-a-crown)

    60 pence = five shillings (5 bob or a "Crown")

    120 pence = ten shillings (ten bob)

    240 pence = 1 pound

    5 pounds = "a fiver"

    10 pounds = "a tenner"

    £1000 = "a grand"

    1 new penny = 2.5 old pence

    One "new" pound = a h*ll of a lot less than it used to!

    Coins available were farthings, ha'pennies, pennies, thrupenny bits (3 pennies), sixpences, shillings, florins, half-crowns, Crowns to mark special occasions only

    Notes available were: 10/- (10 shillings), 1 pound notes (a "oncer")  5 pound notes (fabulous big white ones called a "fiver).  I never had a tenner (my housekeeping money for 3 of us in 1960 was three pounds a week)
