You have mixed modern decimal pounds with old (Pre-1970) units of the old pound/shilling/pence system.
12 (old) pence = 1 (old) Shilling
20 shillings = 1 Pound, therefore 1 shilling = 5 (new) pence (One of the previous answers said 10 new pence, which is incorrect)
sixpence = .5 shillings = 2.5 (new) pence
1 crown = 5 Shillings = 25 (new) pence
1 quid = 1 pound = US$1.97 as of 17 January 2007
Coppers? Could be old pennies, ha'pennies, or farthings.
64 ha'penny = 32 pence = 2 Shillings 8 pence = 13.33 (new) pence

The old shilling was worth 10 pence. A shilling is roughly 20 US cents. 10 quid ($20) and 7 pounds ($14) are the same thing quid and pound is the same. 55 pence is 5 shilling and 5 pence..and so on, work with the exchange rate of approx 2 dollars to the pound
