Granny Gets the Point

Excerpt

Excerpt from the 1971 short Granny Gets the Point.

The introduction of decimalisation on 15 February 1971 marked the beginning of the end for guineas, ten-bob notes, half-crowns and those chunky brass threepenny bits. But the changeover to the supposedly simplified system, based on 100 new pence in a pound rather than 20 shillings to the pound, was fraught with much confusion for many. The transfer took the Decimal Currency Board five years to plan and an 18-month period of dual pricing was decreed to allow people time to adjust to the new system.
