World Currencies

A currency is a kind of money and medium of exchange. It includes metal coins and paper or polymer banknotes. Each country generally has a monopoly on the issuing of its own currency, although some countries use the same currency. Most members of the European Union, for example, use the Euro as their basic currency.

What is the sign for a shilling?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The sign for the British Shilling was an S if a sign was required.

£1/2/6 or £1/2/6d represented One Pound, Two Shillings and Sixpence. The Shilling value is between the Pound value and the Penny value, so it does not need a sign. The position of the 2 makes the value Two Shillings.

2/6d represented Two Shillings and Sixpence. The Shilling value precedes the Penny value, so it does not need a sign. The position of the 2 makes the value Two Shillings.

If the need arose to indicate an even Shilling value, it was written as 2/-, indicating Two Shillings and zero Pence or, 2S, indicating Two Shillings.

What is the difference between a currency note and normal paper?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A currency note is a type of legal tender issued by a government or central bank that is specifically designed and printed for use as money. It typically features security features to prevent counterfeiting and is regulated by the issuing authority. Normal paper, on the other hand, refers to regular paper that is not intended for use as currency and does not have the same security features or value.

In England is the equivalent of an American penny a pence?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The English coin is called a penny, not a pence. "Pence" is the plural used when referring to prices and "pennies" is the plural used when referring to a group of more than one 1-penny coins. Saying "one pence" is a bit like saying "one mice" or "one feet". And to get ridiculously technical about terminology, the U.S. coin is actually a cent; "penny" is a holdover from colonial times.

From a denominational standpoint, a British penny fills the same role as a U.S. cent - each is the smallest coin struck and is 1/100 of the main monetary unit, the pound sterling in the U.K., and the dollar in the U.S.

However, because the dollar and the pound are worth different amounts in the world currency market the 2 coins aren't interchangeable. E.g. in 2014 the exchange rate is roughly £1.00 = $1.70 so a British penny is similarly worth about 1.7 U.S. cents.

How many pennies in a pence?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"pence" is simply the plural of penny in the British system and is used for any multiple of coins worth 2p or more.

However "pennies" refers to a group of one-penny coins.

The usage is a bit strange. If you have 10 one-penny coins, you have 10 pennies that are worth 10 pence! If you had one 10p coin, it's said to be worth 10 pence.

How is the us currency different from the Canadian currency?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Any Canadian bank will buy or sell US bills to or from members of the general public, in denominations as low as one dollar. You will usually get your best exchange rate at a Canadian bank. The major US credit cards, such as Visa, Mastercard and American Express, are accepted in most Canadian businesses.

Personally, I have never experienced a problem using my Canadian Visa, Mastercard or American Express credit cards in the US, but the rate of exchange is not always the lowest, and furthermore a few places will charge an extra fee.
