Read the text The Pound.
The British pound sterling is the oldest currency still in use in the modern world. It
has been around for about 1,200 years and has been the official currency og
England since 928 CE. Today the pound is also the name of the currency of several
other countries, including Egypt, Lebanon and Syria.
The name comes from the Latin libra pondo, meaning ‘ a pound by weight’.
This,in the early days of the currency, meant one pound’s weight (almost half a
kilogram) of silver pennies – the only coins that existed at the time. In those days,
this way a huge amount of money.
From the beginning of its history, around 240 silver pennies were needed to make
up a pound’s weight. Amazingly, until 1971, this amount stayed the same: one
pound was worth 20 shillings, and one shilling was worth 12 pennies – which
meant that there were 240 pennies a pound. Confusing? Many other people thought
so too; in 1971, the system changed so that one pound was simply 100 pennies.
