Subsequent developments

Section 10(1) of the Decimal Currency Act 1969 provided that references in section 2 of the act to an amount of money in the old currency which are not a whole number of pounds must, in so far as they refer to an amount in shillings or pence, be read as referring to the equivalent of that amount in the new currency.
