There were 20 shillings in one pound. It was replaced by the 5p coin.
No, a 5p coin is not magnetic. The material used to make UK coins, including the 5p coin, is not attracted to magnets.
5p
Well, isn't that a happy little math problem we have here! If three times the value of a coin equals 15p, we can simply divide 15p by 3 to find the value of the coin. So, the coin is worth 5p. Just like painting a beautiful landscape, sometimes all it takes is a little brush of math to reveal the hidden beauty underneath.

It is: 3p+5p = 8p
Eire is the Irish name for Ireland. 5p refers to a 5 Pence coin.
150p/5p = 30 of them
One 20p coin and one 5p coin.
Assuming you're referring to a British shilling, it has no current value in commerce. The coin's face value is equivalent to 5p; shillings and old-style 5p coins co-circulated up till the early 1990s when new and much smaller 5p coins were introduced. All older 5p and 1s coins were then withdrawn from circulation. However, many older shillings can be worth a premium to collectors - please post a new question with the coin's exact date.
To calculate the number of 5p coins in £17, we first need to convert £17 to pence. Since there are 100 pence in £1, we multiply 17 by 100 to get 1700p. Then, we divide 1700 by 5 (the value of each 5p coin) to find that there are 340 5p coins in £17.
10, obviously.
