Remaining answers:

1. In what year did the UK first move towards decimalisation of its currency, and how?
1849, with the introduction of the florin, 1/10th of a pound. doubleshuffle gets the points, only 70 years out, better than anyone else!

3. How much were the following in old (UK) money and new money?
A groat was four old pence, or 1.67 new pence.

4. And as an apology to US members for the UK-centric nature, what's the largest value coin it has ever been proposed that the US Mint should issue?
One trillion dollars. No, really. I'll give the points to doubleshuffle, only a factor of a million out.

10 points to doubleshuffle.
15 points to Bilbo1967.
2 points to Bookpossum.


Over to Bilbo1967 for the next quiz!
