A farthing is 1/960 pound Sterling. So there are 960 Farthings in a British Pound, At least according to Wikipedia : )

A Farthing is a former British coin that was abolished in 1960.

A Farthing is old English for a quarter, in this case a quarter of a penny.

£1 = 4 x 12 x 20 Farthings = 960 Farthings.

Four farthings = one penny.

Twelve pennies = one shilling.

Twenty shillings = one pound (£).
