Das war aber heute echt voll dafür, dass hier nur eine Stimme erschallte
Aber ja, ich hatte einigen was zum "farthing" versprochen:
"In 1892, pounds were available in large paper notes in various denominations, but these were rare. Coins were more commonly used and were widely available in the following denominations (each with its own name): 20 shillings (sovereign), 10 shillings (half-sovereign), 5 shillings (crown), 2 1⁄2 shillings (half-crown), 2 shillings (florin), 12 pence (1 shilling, also known as a bob), 6 pence (six-pence), 4 pence (groat), 3 pence (threepence, pronounced “thruppence”), 1 pence (penny), 1⁄2 pence (halfpenny, pronounced “haypenny”), 1⁄4 pence (farthing).
The farthing, halfpenny, and penny are copper coins used for most minor everyday transactions. The "thruppenny bit" (three- pence), sixpence, florin, half-crown, and crown are silver coins and cover the rest of most people's expenditure. The half-sovereign and sovereign are gold coins and used almost exclusively by the wealthy.
Major expenses are often priced in guineas, to show the status of the item being purchased. A guinea is 21 shillings (1 pound and 1 shilling). Professional fees are priced this way and it is usual practice for the professional to keep the pounds, with the shillings being passed to his clerks or assistants."
