Hi Tom. the same debacement of coinage happened over here, indeed part of the reason Britain's currency became metric in 1978, revaluing the pound to be 100 pence instead of 240, despensing with many of the old coins such as shillings, half and quarter pennies, gold sovereignes, crowns,

Well hunter, each pound is devided into 100 pence. coin wise, you get a penny (one pence), two pence, five pence, ten pence, twenty pence, fifty pence coins, and of course the pound coin. In the mid nineties, the government also introduced the two pound coin, which is now the highest
