The Russian Empire introduced decimal currency in 1704:Peter the Great was very forward thinking They adopted the silver dollar (which they called the “Rouble”) divided into 100 Kopeks The French followed much later, in 1794 and the Americans in 1795

Decimalisation was just a clever way to debase the currency without most people understanding it was happening Decimal (Base 10) is not good for divisibility, unlike £SD, which is very good!

Ironically, the vast majority of British people alive today would be largely unfamiliar with the old money Decimal currency is all they have ever known

I think that there should have been a referendum on Decimalisation Without being disrespectful there was a lot of animosity towards new money

We in Britain seem to be the only country who had, and still have, an issue with decimalisation I never tend to see or hear similar stuff from other countries who also ditched £sd - such as Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Nigeria, Malta, South Africa, Uganda, Ghana, Zimbabwe, etc
