Open Bring back pounds, shillings and pence

Created by David MacLeod
Closes on

Replace the current system (pounds and pence) with the old system of Pounds, Shillings and Pence, where there are 12 pence in a shilling, 20 shillings in a pound, and 240 pence in a pound.

The old system is part of our British heritage, and it is a distinctly British way of doing things. Bringing it back would encourage pride in our country's traditions.
