Here's a little puzzle for those who remember what real money was. You know, pounds, shillings and pence. The coins we used when LSD was a good thing to have. But can you remember what we called them - apart from pennies and shillings. If you can, try this little sum. All you have to do is substitute pre-decimal currency for each clue, and they should add up to the total given.
1. A bicycle
2. A man's name
3. A singer
4. A kind of pig
5. A stone
6. A leather worker
7. Part of a gorilla's leg
8. The sun, the moon and Pluto
9. 50% of panties
10. Royal head dress
11. Hit repeatedly
12. Unwell sea creature
