I used to get a thrupenny bit (3d - a twelve-sided chunk of brass) for my pocket money and you could get a comic for that!!!
So those of us over 40 will remember when money wasn't just pre-decimal - it was in LATIN!!! pmsl.
l=libra
s=solidus (not shilling)
d=denarius
is a good website with loads of old money/weights info.
