Yes we had to change to decimal, I cannot remember why. Some old folk still referred to half a dollar when a dollar was five shillings.

Good morning
I would dearly love to have a greenhouse, but I am restricted due to room in my yard. It has been an unseasonably warm year for some and a strangely cold season for others. We keep our heater set at 72 on most days, but with our reasons temps of 50 to 60, I set it back to 68. High utility bills aree such a waste of money.

We do have some places that refuse to take cash. When the credit card systems go down, it doesn't look like a good idea.

I can remember that 1940's we had "mills" -- ten to a penny. Now no one wants pennies, nickles or dimes. I think quarters are still used at the laundromats, but
one-dollar bills are about the smallest things people use. I have one of them in my wallet that has been there forever though because I, like everyone else, use cards.

I'm not familiar enough with the terms to compare the Brit to US money.
Sometimes I wonder how the British settlers here came up with a different style for money - no sixpences or pounds, just pennies, nickels and various denominations of paper money. Here, also some don't want to take cash or even checks. We were taught in school how to count back change during a transaction, but sometimes it seems a problem for clerks at the fast food stores to give change.
