How much is 2000 shillings in us dollars?

Answer 1

$5000

Answer 2

This is a hard question to answer for a few reasons, assuming you mean British shillings because the shilling is no longer used in the UK.

The pre-decimal system prior to 1971 was 12 pence to the shilling and 20 shillings to the pound. Therefore when the British pound became decimalized a shilling was equal to 5 new pence. So 2,000 shillings would be equal to 100 pounds. At the moment that translates to $158 US dollars. However, the exchange rate wasn't always the same. Similarly, inflation has made it that a sum of 100 pounds (2,000 shillings) would be worth substantially more in a historical context than today.
