Answer 2

In pre-decimal times (Before 15th February 1971) in Great Britain the currency was made up as follows:-

Standard Unit of currency : £ (Pound)
£1 = 240 pennies
4 farthings = 1 penny (Farthings went out of use around 1948)
2 halfpennies = 1 penny
3 pennies = threepenny piece (or bit)
4 pennies = 1 groat (An English silver coin worth four pence, used from the 14th to the 17th century.)
6 pennies = sixpence
12 pennies = 1 shilling
24 pennies = 1 florin
30 pennies = half a crown
60 pennies = 1 crown
120 pennies = ten shilling note
240 pennies = £1
252 pennies = 1 guinea (Discontinued in 1816 as a coin but the measurement had aristocratic overtones and guineas were often used in horse-racing circles for prizes and prices. There are still horse races like the 1,000 Guineas))
5 £1 = £5 note
10 £1 = £10 note
Added after decimalisation
20 £1 = £20 note
50 £1 = £50 note

On decimalisation Day all currency was converted to
1.2 pennies = 1/2 New Penny (Now obsolete)
2.4 pennies = 1 New Penny
2 1/2 New Pennies (briefly the old sixpence was used to fulfill this function but discontinued around 1973)
5 New Pennies = 5p
10 New Pennies = 10p
50 New Pennies = 50p
100 New Pennies = £1
100 New Pennies = £1

Answer 3

A GROAT is any of various medieval European coins, in particular an English silver coin worth four old pence, issued between 1351 and 1661. The origin of this word is from Middle Dutch "groot" or Middle Low German "grote" (great or thick), hence the expression "thick penny". Compare it with the German word "Groschen"
