Inflation happened. The value of the dollar decreased.
The currency of England was unchanged from the middle ages until decimalisation in 1971. The currency was pounds, shillings and pence. 4 farthings = 1 penny (1d = 4 x ¼d) 12 pence = 1 shilling (1/- = 12d) 20 shillings = one pound (£1 = 20/-) That gave £1 = 960 Farthings. The farthing was abolished before decimalisation as its value had become so low. There was also an alternative top-level unit, the guinea. 1 Guinea = 21 shillings. Large amounts were sometimes quoted in Guineas instead of pounds Examples of how amounts were written: 2½d = Two and a half pence, pronounced: "Tuppence Ha'penny". 6d = Sixpence = half of a shilling. 10/- = 10 shillings 10/6 = 10 shillings and six pence £5/7/6 = 5 pounds, 7 shillings and sixpence. Since 1971, £1 = 100p (pence). The pound was unchanged by decimalisation, but its value has significantly decreased because of inflation.
A British Pound in 1799 had the purchasing power of about £62.87 GBP today.

One question at a time please. I presume you refer to British Shillings. These coins already have a valuation using the format - "What is the value of a 1932 British Shilling?"
There was no British 1886 Crown (Five Shillings) coin minted.
There was no British 1846 Crown (Five Shillings) coin issued.
There was no 1955 British Crown (Five Shillings) minted. You possibly refer to the 1953 "Coronation" Crown.
In British currency, the value of a shilling in 1830 was equivalent to 12 pence. Therefore, a pension of 30 shillings would be calculated as follows: 30 shillings * 12 pence/shilling = 360 pence. So, a pension of 30 shillings in British currency from 1830 would be equivalent to 360 pence.
