Decimal Day   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) Under the old currency of pounds, shillings, and pence, the pound was made up of 240 "old pence" (denoted by the symbol d), or 20 shillings (denoted by the symbol s). New, different coinage was issued alongside the old coins, many of which still remained legal tender at their old value, although the penny (1d) and threepenny (3d) coins were removed from circulation immediately and could only be exchanged at banks. The 1s and 2s coins remained in circulation alongside their 5p and 10p twins for many years afterward, until smaller 5p and 10p coins replaced the old in the 1990s and, although seldom used, the sixpence coin also remained legal tender as 2½p until 1980 and the half penny was withdrawn in 1984. encyclopedia.vestigatio.com /Decimal_Day   (1033 words)

news5 Though the reunions were a time to laugh at old stories and eat enormous meals (the minutes often compare the wielding of knife and fork to the waging of a military campaign), they were also times to meditate on the passage of time and the growing number of empty places at the table.

Maundy money In 1947 silver was removed from all circulating British coins in favour of cupronickel, but it was felt to be inappropriate to strike Maundy money in such debased metal, so unusually the fineness was restored to 0.925, where it remains to the present day. In 1971 British currency was decimalised, with 100 new pence instead of 20 shillings of 12 pence (240 pence) in a pound. The design of the Maundy money was not changed at all, so instead of being worth 1, 2, 3, or 4 old pence, the coins are now worth 1, 2, 3, or 4 new pence, each one being worth 2.4 times its former value. www.ebroadcast.com.au /lookup/encyclopedia/ma/Maundy_money.html   (897 words)

Mike Pence for President 2008   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) While Pence has yet to offer any public indication that he is weighing a run, banter in his district back home suggests he might consider testing the waters in at least one early primary state. Pence’s status as the race's total-package conservative Republican could provide a boost in recruiting the right kind of staff from the onset, and he would have to be successful in picking up top-level operatives from other campaigns as other candidates drop out. Pence's other statewide option in 2008 would be challenge Daniels in a primary, an added incentive for Daniels to select Pence for a vacant seat. www.pence08.com   (2931 words)

Jevons, Money and the Mechanism of Exchange, Chapter 11: Library of Economics and Liberty Sixteen pence actually weighed a pound avoirdupois, at which rate the people would now be carrying three tunes as great a weight in their pockets as with our bronze currency. The old copper coinage of the United Kingdom was replaced, from ten to fifteen years ago, by a much more convenient and elegant series of pence, half pence, and farthings, struck in exactly the same kind of bronze as the French centime pieces. Our bronze pence are much better than the old copper pence, but it does not follow that we have in any degree approximated to perfection. www.econlib.org /library/YPDBooks/Jevons/jvnMME11.html   (3103 words)

STL COMICS - Columns & Reviews - SNAPSHOTS - "Marvel Pence Price Variants" By Ian J. Pengilley Asking prices of Pence variants with respect to Cents copies are reportedly as much as 70% disparate (Pence variants being offered at 30% of Cents issue price), depending on the condition and demand commonly encountered for the Cents copies of the same issue. Pence variant copies are the same book entirely as the Cents version, printed at the same time on the same press, with only a change in the cover price printing plate separating the two kinds of copies. It has even been suggested that since the Pence copies were printed to a specific number of copies for reasons of limited import quota, the Pence copies were printed first, and for that reason many of the Pence copies have better ink density than the equivalent Cents issues. stlcomics.com /columns/maneevent/I   (1485 words)

College Road, Dulwich, London SE21. Tollgate. Note that in pre-decimal (£ s d) days there were 12 pence (d) to a shilling (s) and 20 shillings to a pound (£). This system of monetary values was at least 1000 years old - that the penny was expressed in writing with the letter "d" might seem strange but apprently it was short for 'denarius', which was an ancient Roman silver coin as well as the name for an Olde Englishe silver penny. The approximate value would be between 1½ new pence and 2 new pence. citytransport.info /Fee.htm   (450 words)

Collecting Antique Clocks: New Clocks from Old, by Brian Loomes, writer and dealer It is well known that clockmakers would often take an old household clock in part-exchange for a new one, and sometimes even a church clock or turret clock - perhaps one that was broken, seriously worn and thought beyond repair, or just plain old-fashioned. But he could also make parts for his new clocks using robbed pieces of old ones, and we sometimes see a wheel made from a piece of brass which has engraving on, and was once a part of an old dial. In a certain sense such a clock is a marriage, in that an old part or parts are re-used and added to certain new parts. www.brianloomes.com /collecting/newfromold/newfromold.html   (1743 words)

General Register Office for Scotland - Help searching Scottish ancestors - Old parish registers There are a lot of contemporary accounts, particularly in the Old Statistical Account of Scotland published in the late 18th century, that made frequent references to the unsatisfactory state of the parish registers. Under this statute, a stamp-duty of 3 old pence was imposed upon the registered entry of every Scottish burial, marriage, birth and christening. In many old legal documents in England and Wales, therefore, dates in the months of January, February and early March are referred to with two years, eg 1 January 1699/1700, and this has been the cause of much confusion. www.gro-scotland.gov.uk /famrec/hlpsrch/opr.html   (902 words)

Marx: Value, Price and Profit (Abridged) By advancing fifteen pence, the capitalist will, therefore, realize a value of thirty pence, because, advancing a value in which six hours of labor are crystallized, he will receive in return a value in which twelve hours of labor are crystalized. If the price of his laboring power is fifteen pence, in which six hours of labor are realized, and if he works twelve hours, he necessarily considers these fifteen pence as the value or price of twelve hours of labor, although these twelve hours of labor realize themselves in a value of thirty pence. They forget that instead of the labor of the man, the head of the family, his wife and perhaps three or four children are now thrown under the Juggernaut wheels of capital, and that the rise of the aggregate wages does not correspond to the aggregate surplus labor extracted from the family. ourworld.compuserve.com /homepages/PZarembka/Marx.htm   (14616 words)

SportsJustice: And then the fans turned against Chris Burke. Pence should get his polishing in Round Rock this year, get his September call up and be ready for 08. Pence is sure an attractive talent and hopefully can reach his potential with the astros, but Burke must either play everyday or be traded, he is not suited to playing off the bench and has earned a starting job. If Pence proves he can hit, and Burke proves he can't (and no, he doesn't deserve a whole year of room to grow as the starting CF, no matter what Justice thinks), the Astros should be playing Pence. blogs.chron.com /sportsjustice/archives/2007/03/and_then_the_fa.html   (9829 words)
