I loved doing the sums in old money, I felt cheated when we got new maths books with ridiculous things called "new pence" to add up and everything was done in tens. Far too simple for sums.
And a big old penny made you feel properly rich when you went to spend it on sweeties on a Saturday. And who could not love a sixpence.
