    Tuppence is two pence, and nobody says it anymore. Shilling was twelve pence in old money. Farthing was a quarter penny. Ha’p’ny was a half penny. Bob was another word for a shilling. Crown was 60 pence, which was a quarter of a pound. Now we just have pounds and pence/pennies. It’s much simpler.
