The advantage in Metric measurements is that all the units are divided into lots of ten, one hundred, onethousand and so on this makes working out the mathematics involved far easier.
In Australia the money system prior to the decimal system went like this. 12 Penney's in a shilling, 20 shillings in a pound. so you would end up with amounts like 2pounds/5shillings/and sixpence, 2/5/6 which then would have to be added to other similar numbers.
