Dumb question - What are "Bobs?"

 

My favorite

 

I think you're missing an o in the title...

 

A shilling.

 

Thanks! Now I'm a "little less" dumb!:hail:

 

Didn't know this until I saw The Kings Speech

 

strangly I have pennys, new pennys, pounds, pence, 1/2 cents and large cents even a couple silver 6 pence but not 1 shilling...another hole I didn't realize I had

 

Yeah, but what is a quid?

 

Nice bobs.

 

A Hong Kong Quid -

 

A bob is two tanners, there are two threenubs in a tanner.

 

a pound, before and after the decimilization i think

edit: Ripley already answered, in picture format, so I just scrolled past it

 

I thought that Bob’s was a triple-decker hamburger bistro in Toluca Lake. Now I understand that a Bob is two tanners & of course, there are two threenubs in a tanner. It never ceases to amaze me how much valuable information is available at CT! Here are two Bull Bobs from Ireland & a Bird Bob from Southern Rhodesia.

 

One minted in Edinburgh, was 12/- Scots whence issued.

 

Wew- me too!

 

Elizabeth I Tudor Shilling 1558-1603 AD

My Oldest Shilling, worn but still an impressive coin in hand.

 

George III 1760-1820 AD Shilling

This is one of my most fabulous Modern Coins, IMHO!


Not to mention its historic....

We beat America off this guy...and that is why you never let the buffoon drive the bus.

 

I got a meeting with the Bob's
