British currency hasn't been nearly as much fun since decimalization. 12 pence to the shilling, 2 shillings to the florin, 2 shillings, 6 pence to the half-crown, 5 shillings to the crown, 20 shillings to the pound, 21 shillings to the guinea were so much fun.
The last person I know who had a guinea coin paid $5,000 Cdn for a George III guinea from 1813 in very good condition.
