Just a small note on the english monetary system (taken from Good Omens by Pratchett and Gaiman)
NOTE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND AMERICANS:
Two Farthings = One Ha'penny.
Two Ha'pennies = One Penny
Three Pennies = A Thrupenny Bit
Two Thrupennies = A Sixpence
Two Sixpences = One Shilling, or Bob
Two Bob = A Florin
One Florin and One Sixpence = Half a Crown
Four Half Crowns = Ten Bob Note
Two Ten Bob Notes = One Pound (240 pennies)
One Pound and One Shilling = One Guinea

"The British resisted decimalized currency for a long time because they thought it was too complicated" : )
