Common & finishing nails used to

be (& maybe still are) given the

"d" for the British penny along

with a number representing their

length as in 10d (10 penny) nail

which is 3 inches long (nuf sed)

There were 240 old pennies to

the Pound Sterling (right Sue)

In my youth (so long ago) a five

dollar bill in circus lingo was

called a pound note as that was

roughly the value of a British

Pound Sterling & currently the

New Pound is worth $1.58
