I know that shillings are British currency but how much is a shilling worth?  Do they even exist anymore?

In the UK before 1971, there was a different monetary system in place, with three basic levels - pounds, shillings and pence.\nPence is another word for pennies, or single coins like 1 cent pieces.\nIn the old "Imperial" system, it worked like this:\n1/4 of a penny = farthing\n1/2 of a penny = half-penny (or ha'penny)\n1 penny = 1 "pence"\n3 pence - Threepenny piece (or Thruppenny Bit)\n6 pence - Sixpence\n12 pence = 1 shilling\n20 shillings = 1 pound \nMaking 240 pennies, or pence, to the pound.\n\nThere were other coins amounting to specific amounts within the system. The Florin, for instance, was worth two shillings (or 24 pence). The Half-Crown, just for fun, was worth two shillings and six pence (30 pence in total) and the Crown, understandably, was worth two Half-Crowns (equivalent to 5 shillings, or 70 pence). And finally the Guinea, which was worth one pound and one shilling (21 shillings, or 252 pence)\n\nIn 1971, the UK joined the metric system, based on there being 100 pence in every pound. The currency was also revalued, so that a shilling was now only worth 5 pence, rather than 12, so that there were still 20 shillings in a pound (largely to help people deal with the change when budgetting their weekly shopping!)\n\nAs far as I know the Crown and Half-Crown are no longer in active use - if you think about it, a half-crown, being worth two shillings and six pence, would now be a coin worth 16 pence, which is a little unweildy for shopping purposes. And similarly, the crown, being worth five shillings, would now be worth one pound twenty-five pence.\n\nSo now in the UK, we have the following units\n1p - one penny or one pence\n2p - two pence\n5p - five pence (one shilling)\n10p - ten pence (two shillings)\n20p - twenty pence (for some reason, calling this four shilings hasn't caught on)\n50p - fifty pence (ten shillings)\n£1 - one pound\n£2 - two pounds - the newest coin to be introduced. After this we go to notes, with £5 being the first.\n\nHowever, just to confuse matters even further, you'll still find mention of guineas and crowns in particular settings - several high-profile horse races award prizes in guineas and crowns. But for the majority of the population, they don't exist as actual coins any more. Incidentally, while researching this answer, I've discovered there was also a half-guinea and a five-guinea coin prior to decimalisation. \n\nSource(s):\n\nhttp://www.johnowensmith.co.uk/histdate/...\nhttp://www.simetric.co.uk/si_imperial.ht...\nhttp://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl...\nhttp://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl...

a single yen is a small enough amount of money that a fraction of a yen wouldn't make any sense and therefore doesn't make any cents.  Regaring your other statement, the world is full of all kinds of currency that is basically worthless.  I used to live in a place where we would hire dump trucks to hall the money over to pay the electric bill for our company.

look it up on coin price guide....but don't get all excited...even if almost uncirculated it wont be worth a lot...but ...keep it...to some collector you might get 50 cents or a dollar....when i was younger they were worth about a nickel each - but 1942 is not that rare...you  would get more if it were a s mint mark ...1942-S ...as there weren't as many of those...see price guide URL below

There is a site for collectors of currency listed below. I suggest you start there, and post your question to them, since Yahoo seems unlikely to be helpful in the answer here.

List it on Ebay for a penny and see if anyone bids - that's what it's worth....whatever the market is willing to pay.\n\nBest wishes,\n\npup

It's almost certainly a scam, yes. Especially when you consider you can get a webcam for a lot less than that. As far aas the exchange rate thing goes, it shouldn't matter because it was quoted in $US. If it's quoted in US dollars than that's just what it is, forget exchange rates.

This appears to be a minting error and the coin is probably worth a few dollars. Take it to a coin collector and have it appraised.

I thought I was the only one that had steel pennies! \n\n Steel Cents (1943) $1 -$5. (per http://www.coinsite.com/)\n\nThe defective Canadian coin, I do not know. But would be worth something. Just like the buffalo nickles that show a buffalo with only three legs are.

1 pence (uk) \n\n100 pence to the $1 so $1.80 to the £1 = so 1 pence = 1.8 cents

I wonder what that says about us Brits?  While it still existed, I would throw in my ha'penneth (half pence) but still offer a penny for your thoughts. Perhaps we're too self-effacing, that we think our opinion is worth half as much as someone else's!

One day the Iraqi currency MIGHT be worth something....but....good grief....aren't there enough high risk investments likely to wipe you out out there already?\n\nOf course, if you're looking for a good investment I happen to be the owner of London Bridge and I could sell it to you for a very reasonable price.....\n\n:-)

It is a British coin, but you don't say what denomination it is. You can identify the coin from the pictures at the site below and then, look up further information on it

The value of the dollar is directly related to the amount of debt our government carries. As an example:\nin 1999 when we were paying down our debt $1US=.618 British pound\ntoday, with our massive debt $1US=0.5483 British pound\n\nThe higher our national debt goes, the less our money, backed by the US government, is worth to the world.

I believe what you are discussing is the Princess of Wales Memorial Coin.\n\nAs you can see from the various sites listed here\n\nhttp://search.yahoo.com/search?p=commemorative+coins+england+diana&fr=FP-tab-web-t341&toggle=1&cop=&ei=UTF-8\n\nthat coin, and others similar which might ALSO be what you have in hand, in their proper presentation, are worth MORE than face value (as are most such commemoratives).\n\nWould suggest you refrain from trying to spend them, someone would likely be THRILLED enjoy YOUR LOSS while THEY get them for FACE value! ;)\n\nCheck values and perhaps investigate your own coin with a coin dealer. :)\n\nBest wishes.
