The British Monetary System before Decimalization An interesting read for anyone who wondered why the world went decimal and metric..... And this was just for a 1200 year old currency system. Just try figuring out the weights and distance system in carats, feet, pounds, furlongs, nautical / imperial and US miles, hands, leagues, fathoms, cables, links, long tons, grains and I forget what else.
