40/- is 480d
It was all abolished before I took an interest in money but 1000 pennies is £4 3s 4d and 6s8d is exactly a third of a pound.

A decimal system is easier but I do miss the accretion of systems that he old sterling denominations represented. In its full form it went
1/2, 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 24, 30, 60, 120, 240, 252 ( in pence from a half penny to a guinea)
