dbminter Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I believe before decimalization in Britain, prices of things could be listed by 3/11d. I am guessing the 3 is 3 shillings but what is the d? Pence/pennies? If so, what does the d stand for? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbminter Posted May 22, 2023 Author Share Posted May 22, 2023 Ah, so d was short for denarius, an old Roman coin. Doesn't make much sense but it is an explanation to my question. Thanks!
