Important to remember that it was really only the value of pennies that was altered.

There were (and still are) twenty shillings to the pound (and for those of you who attend horse sales or art auctions - 21 shillings to the guinea)

At decimilisation, the shilling was made up of 5 new pence instead of 12 pennies
