British Money

This file provides a useful explanation of the changing value of the British pound over time, charts comparing retail prices and salaries in different time periods, an explanation of the various British coins—such as the guinea, shilling, sovereign, florin, groat, ha’penny—and a helpful conversion into North American currencies. We hope this student aid will assist in the reading and comprehension of literary texts from all volumes of The Broadview Anthology of British Literature.
