I'm currently reading my 3rd Dicken's novel this year and not understanding the currency is really bothering me. I've tried general searches on the internet without much result. Does anyone have a suggestion on where to find more information on this topic - shilling, half crown, farthing, half penny, etc etc. I can't tell if it's a large amount, a small amount or if they are all names for the same thing. ex. a buck, a dollar, 60 cents, 4 quarters.
