Oh, dude, you're really taking me back to the olden days with this one! So, like, back in the day, before we had fancy things like dollars, there were shillings. And guess what? There were 20 shillings in a dollar. Can you believe it? Like, who even uses shillings anymore, am I right?

BeauThe shilling is an obsolete British coin equivalent to 1/20 of a pound sterling, or 5 pence. Conversion rates changed over the years so the number of shillings equivalent to a U.S. dollar was not constant.
For many years the rate was fixed at £1 = $2.80 so a shilling was equivalent to 14¢. The conversion rate was changed to $2.40 which lowered the shilling to 12¢. Eventually conversion rates were allowed to float and the pound has been anywhere from $1.03 to over $2.00 so it's not possible to give an exact figure.
