True....we went decimal in the early 70's (72 i think) and we still 
use the terms "tenners" and "fivers".....the one we don't use anymore 
(which was roughly the size of a bedsheet) was the "ten shilling 
note"  which you missedfrom your quote......they went out of circulation 
in the 60's some time.....maybe earlier......I wasn't around, anyway 
:-)
