Not quite right it was:-

£2 11s. 8¼d. = £sd = pounds+ shillings + pence

I have on my wall a set of UK pre decimal coins and also have an old £1 and a ten shilling note. For me it is pure nostalgia as I was 22 years old when British currency went decimal. I can even remember being sent to the shop to buy a certain kind of loaf of bread which was so many pence and one farthing.
