I know that “s.” refers to “shillings” and “d.” to “pennies”, and I believe that “6d.” is “sixpence”.

Anyone?

If you have a source, all the better!

    Perhaps of note that the pronunciations of some penny amounts are not intuitive, e.g.

    • 2d = tuppence
    • 3d = thruppence

    In all cases, the ‘pence’ is commonly squished together so it sounds more like ‘pns’ (like in comeuppance).
