I used to go to England every couple of years, and I'd usually bring some paper money home with me. One year when I went back, I handed someone a £1.00 note, and he looked surprised. That was after the switch to the pound coin. I still have a bunch of shillings. I started keeping them after the switch to decimal. They should have kept the name "shilling." They kept "pound," so why not "shilling"?
Whatever happened to farthing.
