Hang on i was bored so i cicked on this , is the girl prerending to be engilish or is she just an american with a dodgy accent , could someone please explain cos she dont sound like shes from anywere in the uk ??
20 Shillings to a £. Our money is also called Sterling. I will tell you something funny. When I was 6 I used to change a £ to 100 pennies in my post office because I thought I would have more.
You know what? I hate to be shallow but so be it. I am infatuated with your youtube presentation of yourself. It's your obvious intelligence wrapped in your delicious rendition of your british accent. Plus, you're quite lovely. I don't know what else to say, so yeah...thanks for being on youtube. :)
'Yeah I'm sure people are all gonna go, like, "Oh maybe you should have done some research Paperlilies" Well you know what? How about you make this video?!' - - - - > Maybe you should have left it to someone else because you obviously don't know what you're talking about. Also, it's funny that for someone who is so obviously British has been Americanised... what's with sayin "like" all the time and finishing your sentences on a high note? Seriously, sort it out.
wait, so £10= £20? because i dont know if i heard wrong but i thought you said that one pound equals lol. But anyway, ur awsome and i love british people!
Who uses the phrase 'Bob' anymore? because we don't. £1 = one pound/ quid £5 = five pounds/ fiver £10 = ten pounds/ tenner £1000 = one thousand pounds/ a grand. Most British people say the phrase 'quid' quite often and people who are unfamiliar, foreign or new to the country usually say pounds and that way you know they are probably not from the country, so say 'quid' instead if you ever visit.
@sabradan Because the scotland uses the the Sterling currency aswell, this money is usable in all of Great Britain; England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
4 X Farthings = one penny. 12 pennies = one shilling. 20x shillings = one pound. thus 240 pennies = one pound. The UK went decimal on February 15, 1971.
So whats the order? From the least amount of money to the greatest amount? and what are the symbols for each? America rlly only has $1 or .99. lol. so simple.
All British Notes were, and still are different sizes and colours, and have contained incresingly intricate anti-copyright tactics, as the forgers got increasingly smarter and smarter in their coipying of the bank notes.
I sure hope that this has helped confused Americans, and others too when trying to fathom out the confusing English currency.
England is a fantastic place to visit, just make sure your wallet is VERY VERY VERY thick, because it's expensive
That's it for the coins, next we have the ten shilling (bob) note, or half a quid. This was brown on white and, as the name implies was worth ten shillings, and there were 2 to the pound. Children wound frequently get a ten shilling note of aunts or uncles for Christmas, Mom's n Dads would give em a pound note.
Next up was the 1 pound note, this was still legal tender way past the date of decimalisation, and was comparitively recently changed to the pound coin.
Next we have the 2 shilling piece 2 bob piece or florrin, this was a silver coin and as the name implies worth 2 shillings, the florrin was the forerunner of the 2 shilling piece but was worth the same amount.
Next up we had something called the half crown, this was worth 2shillings & sixpence or half a crown which was worth five shillings
Next up was the Crown an silver coin not seen very often in general use, but was still nevertheless legal tender and as said above worth 5 shillings
Next up is the threepenny bit, this was a very unusual shape, a duodecagon (12 sided coin) It was originally made of silver later changed to copper.
Next we have the sixpennce sixpennny bit sixpenny piece or tannner, this was originally made of pure silver but later changed to a silver alloy with decreasing amounts of silver as the price went steadily upwards.
Next up is the shilling, or bob, again this was a silver coin, there were 12 pennies to the shilling, & 20 shillings to the pound
OK starting from the bottom, we have the farthing there were 4 of these to a penny.
Then we have a hapenny, This is a shortened form of Half-penny, and obviously there were 2 to a penny.
Next up is the penny (if you ever watch any old sixties brit tv series and a character says "they have to spen a penny" this comes from the fact that all public toilets (restrooms) charged 1 penny to use the facility, it considerably more than that now)
OK to help every body out here, the PREDECIMAL currency is the one that masam was asking about, and is the one that confuses most Americans. As this delightful lady carrectly said this was abolished back in the 60's and now the Pound (aka quid or knicker) it also has many other nicknames, as I am sure your dollar has.
I will endeavour to explain the PREDECIMAL currency in as many replies as it takes
you are so true about buckingham palace being so boring! ITS UGLY! I don't know if youve ever gone to Portmerion in wales but thats sooooo much prettior than that portakabin of a type building the queen lives in! haha
@TheKate1098 buck house is indeed a bit dull the gates are over elaborate for such a basic building... it should be a white picket woo fence with a wooden gate with one of them lachey snecky locky things on it!
u r wrong about the bob .. 10 bob is 50 Pence ! a quid is one pound ! and its a shame u dont know Adam Smith ... but maybe this is because u didnt go to uni ?
Lol I would have to agree with you that would be creepy, having your face everywhere. That's why in America we put dead people on our money. But with the way things are going here Obama will be on it soon.. Haha the only reason I say that is because he's on shoes, shirts, pants, I think I even saw an Obama tooth bruch, grills which may be spelled wrong, but idiot's put them on there teeth & ect... Heck he may even be on a Gold coin not sure though cause I'd never waste my money on a coin!
Should have shown them some Scottish money; a lot nicer than the English notes in my opinion!
PS, as a Scottish person, I'd like to agree with the people below saying that Adam Smith shouldn't be on the English note! Our own money's already used to commemorate people such as Rabbie Burns, Sir Alexander Fleming and Lord Kelvin. And, indeed, Adam Smith on the old Clydesdale £50 note. (Although he doesn't look any better on that note; he actually looks a bit like ET...)
@fisterB It's really quite easy :) Counting the coins of the 20th century, there was a farthing, half penny (pronounced "ha'penny") penny, 3 pence, six pence (a "tanner") a shilling (a "bob"), a florin, half crown, and crown. A sovereign was a gold coin with a value of one pound, and a half soveregin was half a pound. A guinea was 1 pound, and 1 shilling. Four farthings or two half pennys made a penny, 12 pence was a shilling, and there were 12 shillings in a pound. (cont).
@fisterB (BTW, 20 shillings in a pound. Sorry for the typo) Two shillings made a florin, and two and a half shillings (two shillings, six pence, written as 2/6) made a half crown. Two half crowns, or five shillings, made a crown, so there were four crowns in a pound. See, I told you it was simple.
As I was only little, I can only remember the little coins and you could get 4 little chews for a 'apenny'. If I was lucky, I would get a thrupenny bit to spend!
The Leek is associated with Wales because way, way back in the day, Welsh warriors wore Leeks on their bodies like badges, to distinguish themselves form their enemies. Why Leeks? Dunno. Because they were there i guess. You wouldn't pin a bloody cabbage to yourself would ya lol.
Edward Elgar was the previous image on the £20 and I think Elizabeth Fry is still on the £5 and Good Ol' Charlie Darwin is on The £10.
In all my life, I've only ever seen a £50 and never handeled it. They're mostly used in banks for large transactions. And there's also the £5 coin but that was like a limited edition coin but I'd like to think they would issue it nationwide soon but I doubt it.
I do not have a £20 note on me at the moment, but that building on the front looks more like The Bank of England to me - rather than Buckingham Palace. I could be wrong, and often am........especially when it comes to money !
My fiancé is English and he's tried to explain your money to me, but I feel so dumb, math isn't my best subject so learning your money is tough, but that's just me, I'm slow. I'll get it. I should have kept this to myself... :)
One of my best friends recently went to London, and I instructed her that she was bring me back something that was British, made in England, and could not be found here in the States. She returned with a 10 pound note. It makes a nice addition to my US dollar bill that has a photo of Dudley Moore on it.
Don't understand why Adam Smith is on the £20 note in England. He was Scottish, after all. And yes, on the 2p coin it is the Prince of Wales....Emblem, I guess?
Adam Smith wrote "Wealth of Nations", he's an economist, but really all he did was gather opinions from other economists and put them into a cohesive, overarching theory. I'm learning about him in International Political Economy.
Let me clear up this shilling thing cos someone has commented twice on here thinking he is an expert but really he is not very clever. The shilling WAS done away with in 1971 when the UK went decimal, however some old shilling coins were still allowed to circulate until 1990 with a value of 5p cos they were the same size as the old 5p coin (which did NOT still say one shilling on the back btw). Anyone born after 1971 wouldn't have noticed those coins cos officially all prices were in decimal.
lol i like this video tbh, im english and have no clue how the hell that shillings bollocks worked, glad im only 18! ps. any critics on here giving it large, well, you can all suck my meaty leek. ty. 5* btw
The shilling was five pence!dont you remember the old five pence or the old ten pence?the older ones still said one shilling on the back and the ten said two shillings on the back!do your research before talking rubbish.The shilling was still in use untill 1990 fact!!!!!
she missed out that british money has no true value ans is no longer worth anything, its just a form of credit
money used to have its worth in gold and silver, as did the american dollar. Try going to a bank today with £100 and asking for its worth in gold/silver you will be kindly booted up the arse out of the building
canadian money has the queen all over it to, i don't think its on every bill, those are left for our past priminsters i believe, but on the back of our loonies, toonies, quarters, nickels, dimes and pennies she's there. i notcie on our coins aswell that she seems to age along with them lol
Decimilisation day was in 1971. Before that, 12 pence (d) made a shilling (s). 20 shillings made a pound, so there were 240 pence to a pound. There was other values such as the florin, which was 2 shillings, or todays 10p.

Wow drinks are way more money there! You can get an Arizona in Canada (or the US) for 99 cents. But I guess it doesn't seem like as much when you pay with a pound. But a bottle of coke for a buck is a lot! At least it is where I live! Ugh so confusing ...
she has completely ignored the Scottish and Irish sterling banknotes! completely different to the english notes, but all the same value. all legal tender in any part of the UK
Sorry I meant N. Irish not Irish of course which is in the eurozone of course! And we love the Euro. why the UK wont join is beyond me. aragh Typical lol
No one cares about scottish and irish money, we hate the scottish and irish, the irish especially, we only hate them because they hate us, IRA? heard of them?, well them fuckers murdered two of our british soldiers just because they was in ireland...just pointing out something, no offense to you.
The Bank of England has never ever been owned by anyone who is Brit-ish, Fact!(it's just a NAME).The real name should be called, the Bank of*Lord Rothchilds(Bankster)The Evil Enslavers!.Ok,every(98%)countr ies currency is based on gold/Silver,and the Rothchilds owned all the gold mines in the world.Who Controls the money con-trols the worlds economy.You will find the root of ALL Evil(Wars,SlaveTaxes,child poverty) dwells here in the UK,please don't believe me research on youtube:New World Order

bottles of coke/pepsi are usually about a pound which is like 2 dollars, or you can get a can for 50p which is like 1 dollar. not too sure about mcdonalds though..
we brits are proud of our stirling, its a bit of a national symbol lol. it was doing quite well in the excange 2 till the credit cruch. now the dollar and pound are getting ass whooped by the Euro
I thought this video was interesting. I've been to 12 different European countries myself and have a coin collection as a result. Although, I didn't think it was very hospitable for you to say his/her question was "DUMB" toward the end of your video. Bad form.
Someone should of told the yanks our money is not £1 = 100pence, as now, in this day and age a £1 will only buy you about 53pence worth...
The rapid decline in our monetary system can be traced by to ANY ancient historical event where the monetary system was used to keep and empire going, it NEVER works.
Now the American dollar is crashing, the Euro WORTHLESS, and even the Great British pound is only worth 38pence... Do you see what is happening, DON'T listen to the government, not ever!
Did you know that technically it is illegal to carry British money in your back pocket? The idea being that you're wearing the queen's face on your arse! Really.
Welsh soldiers used to wear leeks on their uniforms so they could identify themselves on the battlefield. It also has something to do with St David i think. I'm Welsh and i don't even know myself. Anyway i'm off to shag a sheep.
errr maybe on the planet ZOG it was but back in england (pre 1971) it was 240 pennys to the pound! it's simple really. 1 penny coin 3 pence coin 6 pence coin 1 shilling coin(scotland and england had there own designs)worth 12 pennies 2 shilling coin half a crown coin(2 shillings and six pence) crown(five shillings) ten shilling note 1 pound note 5 pound note 10 pound note 20 pound note
A "BOB" was a pre decimal 1 Shilling coin. 20 bob (or 20 Shillings) in a pre decimal Pound.

Let me clear up this shilling thing cos someone has commented twice on here thinking he is an expert but really he is not very clever. The shilling WAS done away with in 1971 when the UK went decimal, however some old shilling coins were still allowed to circulate until 1990 with a value of 5p cos they were the same size as the old 5p coin (which did NOT still say one shilling on the back btw). Anyone born after 1971 wouldn't have noticed those coins cos officially all prices were in decimal.

Brits should bring back the shilling just to confuse the hell out of everyone.

she missed out that british money has no true value ans is no longer worth anything, its just a form of credit
money used to have its worth in gold and silver, as did the american dollar. Try going to a bank today with £100 and asking for its worth in gold/silver you will be kindly booted up the arse out of the building

Decimilisation day was in 1971. Before that, 12 pence (d) made a shilling (s). 20 shillings made a pound, so there were 240 pence to a pound. There was other values such as the florin, which was 2 shillings, or todays 10p.
The guy on the old £20 note was Sir Edward Elgar.
The 20p shape is a heptagon!

i would appreciate anyones help on this :) thanks

bottles of coke/pepsi are usually about a pound which is like 2 dollars, or you can get a can for 50p which is like 1 dollar. not too sure about mcdonalds though..
JakeWild 3 years ago
Mcdonalds big bac meal, £3.99, which is around $8....but the large meal here is equivalent to your small there LMAO
in Central london, a bottle coke is £1.40 - £1.60 depends what shop u get it from, which is almost $3.
Can coke/Pepsi in central london is £0.55 - £0.65, also depends on shop.
which is equi. to around $1.10 - $1.30.
If your not in central london, can coke £0.50 - £0.49, bottle coke £0.99 - £1.00

The rapid decline in our monetary system can be traced by to ANY ancient historical event where the monetary system was used to keep and empire going, it NEVER works.
Now the American dollar is crashing, the Euro WORTHLESS, and even the Great British pound is only worth 38pence... Do you see what is happening, DON'T listen to the government, not ever!
