Let me be the first to jump in here.  A Quid is a British Pound A 10 Bob
note is (or was) worth 10 Shillings, if memory serves me correctly. 
Since the British converted to a decimal monetary system, many of the
confusing conversion factors went away with those denominations (Guinea,
shilling, farthing, etc.  But a Quid is still worth one Pound. 

I'm sure someone is going to correct me on this one!!!
