Flash sod flashing a ten bob note in the boozer. Two half crowns, a shilling, two thru'penny bits and a couple of pennies will do.CatAddick said:But how much change from ten bob note?

I'll have a go...there were I think 240 pennies in an old pre-decimal pound, so 80 3d coins?
I think...

80 is correct. 20 shillings in a pound. Multiplied by 4.0

10 pints for less than 7 bob. Those were the days.0

I have two pre- decimalisation coins in my hand that add up to 2&6 (2s&6d or two shillings and sixpence) but one of them is NOT a florin (a two shilling coin).
What are the two coins?0 -

You have one florin and a tanner, if one is not a florin then it is ok if the other one is!0

Two and three is about the lowest price I can remember for a pint.
(Along with many others I was in work on Sunday 14th February 1971 converting all the bloody handwritten account ledgers into decimal. What a boring job that was.)
"Give more get change" was the Govt's suggestion for the following day!0 -
Thank God they got rid of the new half pence piece. What was the idea of going decimal but having a fractional coin - so you could buy a single Black Jack I suppose?

I remember a pint being 1/10d at my football club for Whitbread (almost undrinkable) Trophy.0

hang on weren't Black Jacks 4 for a 1d therefore a new halfpenny would have bought you 2?cafcfan said:Thank God they got rid of the new half pence piece. What was the idea of going decimal but having a fractional coin - so you could buy a single Black Jack I suppose?
although I do remember with decimalisation everything seemed to double in price overnight...well sweets did anyway!
