my internet access has been iffy, so i don't know if my post made it, so if not, here's my answer:

under the old order, the ratio was 12 pence per shilling and 20 shillings per pound. under the new decimalized system, the shilling is officially gone and there are now 100 pence per pound. (however, some folks now call the 5p a shilling.)

240 of them being minted from a pound of silver,

After the Norman Conquest, the pound was divided for simplicity of accounting into 20 shillings and into 240 pennies, or pence.

Prior to decimalisation, the pound was divided into 20 shillings and each shilling into 12 pence, making 240 pence to the pound.

I haven't the slightest idea. I don't know how much a shilling weighs. The same goes for the pence.

 

Even if I did know, it would be futile on my part to try to win the trivia contest since you post the question so late in the day that I am already at work, and too many other members have already posted their answers by the time I have a chance to read the question.

 

Until such time that you start posting the question on Friday morning, I'll have to be content with posting dumb answers.
