A ton is 2,000 lbs not 100 lbs, unless you are speaking about the slang terms British people use when talking about money. There is a pound note (similar to a Dollar Bill), There is a Farthing (a coin similar to a Quarter), A Sixpence (similar to a nickle) and a penny. Now Europe has a universal money called Euro-Dollars I don't know what the different denominations are or what they are called

20 = Score
50 = half a century
100 = Ton or century

I think you'll find http://www.aldertons.com/money.htm covers most of it. Only one I saw missing was an obscure Essex one which is "Apple" (apple core=score=£20).
