The British Shilling and the Shillings of most other Commonwealth countries are part of long redundant currencies which no longer have exchange rates with any other currency. There were 20 Shillings in a Pound and 12 Pence in a Shilling. At the time of Britains conversion to decimal currency, 30 Shillings converted to £1.50 GBP. Many other Commonwealth countries ceased to use the Pound and changed to the Dollar, so 30 Shillings converted to $3 in those currencies. The British currency changeover occurred in 1971. 30 British Shillings in 1971 had the purchasing power of about £14.20 GBP today. 30 British Shillings in 1971 had the purchasing power of about $22.81 USD today.

Six shillings was five percent of an unskilled labourer's annual income. Also bear in mind that a shilling could buy you about six loaves of bread and twelve dozen apples.
