    If the Brits were still using that system today, 25 shillings would be about $1.50 USD.

    So it looks like 20 shillings is not a lot of money in today's economy. So your question about it being a lot of money per week is relevant to what time period your speaking of and what area.

    For WHAT? A blowie? Probably not...and since a shilling is a FRACTION of a British Pound...it isn't exactly a lot.
