Hmmmm. I'd just returned from a business trip to London, and all the cash I had was a five-pound note. Citiwide wasn't able to convert it to dollars, but they did give me four guineas, two crowns, four shillings, and ten pence. http://home.clara.net/brianp/money.html One guinea = 21 shillings = 105p in decimal money Crown = five shillings 25p in decimal money One shilling = 5p in decimal money One pence old money = 0.417p decimal I make that 479.17pence decimal in exchange for five pounds (500p). Yup, that's how Citibank make their money The contents of this email are confidential and for the exclusive use of the intended recipient.
