As of 2021, what is the oldest currency in the world that is still in use?

The £ symbol was always used before 1970. Never saw L used.

The name may be in use but is it the same currency after decimalisation as it was before? We changed the number of pennies in a pound and replaced all the old coins and notes, got rid of shillings and sixpence. Sounds like Trigger's broom!

Still the greatest country in the world!

Player #33161631, the pound didn't change, just the way it is subdivided.

Rosie-knees, which is why we used to call it LSD!

Player #33161631, The sub divisions changed but the pound remained the same.

Rosie-knees - I loved it too. Ah, the good old days!

Player #125843019, Or Scottish Pound, don't forget!😛

According to the question your answer is wrong just because Israel still uses the “Shekel”. From biblical times

It is not the British pound it is the English pound, that is why on all the notes it says the Bank of ENGLAND

BenThomWood, yes I agree but not any more they are slowly giving it away, on the other hand it must be the greatest country in the world because everyone wants to go there

BenThomWood, don't make me laugh ...

Fredrico, I spent an entire summer with a family in High Wycombe. I came from the States in '72, and it was a real culture shock at the time. I loved learning the currency and putting shillings in the meter when gas or electricity went out! Thought of the Beatles every time I heard the term bob. (Mean Mr. Mustard) Though it's been so many years, I will forever treasure the many, many memories I have that seem like yesterday.

Never knew lb stood for libra.

Player #Meg, totally agree.

Fredrico, what happened to 2bob and half a crown?

Player #33161631, the value of the pound didn’t change. It was just made up of different units.

Player #Meg, The only time I have seen the L used in currency is for the Italian Lira

Player #Meg, me neither!

$1 is equal to £0.72, you have your currencies the wrong way round
