<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 1606532, member: 40017&quot;]I think that is derived from the English Pound instead, and which at the time was 240 Pennies. Pound (currency) itself is derived directly from Pound (weight) as originally (17th Century) it was One Pound of Silver. Incidentally also leads to lira and many similar words as the Latin derived languages used Livra or similar for a Pound (weight).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
