  • BRITISH MONETARY SYSTEM (For Calculations Contained Within the Roseboom Books)
    BRITISH MONETARY SYSTEM (for calculations contained within the Roseboom Books): Given: Pound (£). Shilling (s) – 20 shillings = 1 pound. Pence (d) – 12 pence = 1 shilling. 240 pence = 1 pound. Farthing (f) – 4 farthings = 1 pence. 48 farthings = 1 shilling. 960 farthings = 1 pound. The Roseboom Books, when recording account information, usually have three (3) columns representing Pounds, Shillings, and Pence. For example: £ s d One widget 3 2 1 This would be pronounced: “three pounds, two, & one” (representing three pounds, two shillings, and 1 pence. In some instances when recording money outside of the three column format and when pounds are not listed the 18th century format of 6/3 is used. This would be pronounced: “six and three (representing six shillings and three pence. It is important to remember that 13 pence = 1 shilling and 1 pence; and 21 shillings = 1 pound and 1 shilling1. A calculation example using the above is as follows: 115 Gal’s of Rum @ 3/4 = 19 Pounds, 3 Shillings, 4 Pence Step 1: Gal’s X’s shillings 1 One pound and one shilling is also represented by a coin known as a guinea. For our calculation purposes, however, we won’t concern ourselves with the Guinea. The Guinea is a gold coin, originally made of gold from the Guinea coast of Africa. The Guinea came into existence in 1663, under Charles II; when first issued they were worth one pound, or twenty shillings. The value of the guinea had fluctuated over the years from 20 to 30 shillings. A Royal Proclamation of September 1717 fixed the value of the guinea at 21 shillings.

  • Notes on British Money of Adam Smith's Time
    K.D. Hoover Adam Smith and the System of Natural Liberty Revised, 15 November 2020 Notes on British Money of Adam Smith’s Time The official British monetary unit in Adam Smith’s time, as today, is the pound sterling. As its name implies it was originally a silver currency, but by the 1750s, Britain had adopted the gold standard. Until 1971, the pound was divided into 20 shillings, and each shilling was worth 12 pence, so that the pound was worth 240 pence. The standard symbol for pounds is £, usually written before the numerals (e.g., £130). Frequently, when subparts of pounds are included, pounds/shillings/pence are written l/s/d, usually written after the numerals (e.g., 4 pounds, 7 shillings, and 9 pence is written 4 l. 7s. 9d). While this seems like a complicated system to us who are used to the decimal system, it was a commonplace system in early modern Europe. Decimalization began with the French Revolution. Britain had little use for France, and so resisted longer than most other countries. In fact, the prime factors of 12 and 20 are more numerous than those of 10, so that, once one is used to it, the old system is not so hard for mental arithmetic. th In Smith’s time and through most of the 19 century, the pound sterling was defined by its gold value: 1 Troy ounce of gold = 3 l. 17s 10½d (the most common way of stating it) or, put 1 inversely, £1 = 0.2242 (i.e., 1 pound was worth between /5 and ¼) Troy ounce of gold.

  • The Wren Farthing (1937 – 1956) King
    THE WREN FARTHING (1937 – 1956) This Brushwood Coin Note is another in our series covering favourite British bronze coins; the Wren farthing, minted for some 20 years during the reigns of 3 monarchs between 1937 and 1956. Manufactured in bronze, with a diameter of 20 mm (approx 0.8 inch) and a weight of about 2.8 grammes (0.1 ounce), there were 4 farthings in one penny, (thus making 960 to the pound (£1). Farthings in earlier times had been made from a series of different metals, firstly silver, then copper, tin, copper again, and then finally the harder wearing bronze from 1860 until the last issue of farthing in 1956. The bronze of the wren farthings was made up of 95.5% copper / 3% tin / 1.5% zinc. The name farthing originates from the word ‘fourthing’ or ‘feorling’, which linked with the fact that the first farthings were derived from pennies cut into four pieces. Farthings had existed since the days of Oliver Cromwell when they were made originally in silver and for over 250 years the image of Britannia was firmly established as the reverse of the farthing. However in 1937 the Britannia reverse of the Farthing gave way to a new image of the British Wren (Fig 1). The new design, created by Harold Wilson Parker was introduced on the accession of King Edward VIII in 1936. Examples of the 1937 Edward VIII farthing Fig 1: Wren Reverse Design are exceedingly rare as these never entered into circulation following the abdication of Edward. KING GEORGE VI The Wren reverse first came into normal circulation therefore after the accession of King George VI , and there were two variations of Wren farthing issued during his reign.

  • Britain and the Pound Sterling
    Britain and the Pound Sterling! !by Robert Schneebeli! ! Weight of metal, number of coins For the first 400 years of the Christian era, England was a Roman province, «Britannia». The word «pound» comes from Latin: the Roman pondus was divided into twelve unciae, which in turn gives us our English word “ounce”. In weighing precious metals the pound Troy of 12 ounces is used, 373 grams in metric units. In France, instead of pondus, the Latin word libra, weighing- scales, was used instead, so that «pound» in French is livre. That is why, when we weigh meat, for example, and want to write seven pounds, we write 7 lb., as if we were saying librae instead of pounds. And if we’re talking about pounds in the monetary sense, we also use a sign that reminds us of the Latin libra – the pounds sign, £, is actually only a stylised letter L. In the 8th century, in the age of King Offa in England or of Charlemagne in Europe, when the English currency began to be regulated, it was not the pound that was important, but the penny. The origin of the word «penny», and how it came to mean a coin, is obscure. A penny was a small silver coin – for coinage purposes silver was more important than gold (for example, the French word for money, argent, comes from argentum, the Latin for silver). Alfred the Great, the most famous of the Anglo-Saxon kings, fixed the weight of the silver penny and had pennies minted with a clear design.
