That claims Russia was the first country to convert its money to decimal units, but interestingly there's no mention of China.

China's money has had decimal units for thousands years - 1 yuan = 10 jiao = 10 fen

When the UK converted, my mother rescued an old mechanical desktop £sd comptometer from the scrap heap. After she died we donated it to a now defunct local museum, I was told it subsequently went to Bletchley Park.
