CWT, £sd - modern kids would have an aneurism!

A question on this week's University Challenge was "how many shillings
are half a crown plus sixpence plus a florin?". Neither team got it
right.

The answer's a crown, of course. Rare as hens' teeth, they were when I
was growing up. Massive things, and having one in your pocket made you
feel rich.

I've got 2! Festival of Britain & Coronation ones.
