Indeed no, and the examples include:
West Midland Bird Club Bibliography
<http://www.westmidlandbirdclub.com/biblio/worcs.htm#MalvernHand>
(Published prices of old books)
= 6/- (30p)
and:
Silver Jubilee
(http://www.westmidlandbirdclub.com/archive/jubilee-54.htm)
(1954) - prices in text ("five shilling subscriptions", "10/-")
shown in footnotes as "1 shilling = 5p" and "10/- = 10 shillings
(50p)" respectively.
Note that, as well as the obsolete "shillings" (ten shillings is written
as "10/-" or "10s"; ten shillings and tuppence as "10/2" or "10s 2d").
Those extracts include the modern "penny" (written "p"; 1 GBP = 100p).
I do agree, though, that it would be a good idea to gather example of
other currencies, especially non-Western types.
