<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 287036, member: 39&quot;]Maybe the same people who measure like this: 1 mile is 1760 yards, 1 yard is 3 feet, 1 foot is 12 inches, and so on. Oh, and 1 pound is what, 14 ounces? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The old British &quot;LSD&quot; system is the same as what Charlemagne used in the 9c: 1 pound (libra) = 20 shillings (solidi) = 240 pence (denarii). At least in the 20c, the farthing (1/4 penny), the florin (2 shillings) and the crown (5 shillings) were rather additional or auxiliary unit names ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
