Fascinating! Any idea why, when the rest of Europe seemed to generally be using a decimal system, the British had the rather bizarre pounds, shillings, and pence relationship?

Fascinating question.... I would love to know the answer.
Maybe you could ask the same question over here too (maybe you can also extract some information from that Entry): A506350
This increases your chances that anyone might come up with an explanation... I'll do some smart askin' too.. Let's see what we get.
I you do get an answer, please paste it in over here too...

Hm, a very interesting question, seems related to the American system of measurement, which is of course a relic of the British one. 
Remember the Mars mission.
