That Guinea certainly does fluctuate in value...
The original British monentary system:
Two farthings=One Ha'penny. Two ha'pennies=One Penny. Three
pennies=A Thrupenny Bit. Two thrupences=A Sixpence. Two
sixpences=One Shilling, or Bob. Two bob=A Florin. One florin and a
sixpence=Half a Crown. Four half crowns=Ten Bob Note. Two ten bob
notes=One Pound (or 240 pennies). One pound and one shilling=One
Guinea.
The British resisted decimalized currency for a long time because
they thought it was too complicated.
Maybe growing up with that insanity explains all the brilliant
mathematicians. After figuring out how much you owed for your
groceries, Principa Mathematica must have been a breeze.
