I think "quid" and "bob" are slang for "pound".

As for shillings, all I can tell you for sure is that they're not related to pounds by a power of 10. The Brits of old were apparently intent on making their currency system as difficult and annoying as possible, perhaps to prevent an uneducated person who accidentally came across some money from actually spending it.
