the coins currently in use in England are the penny (1 pence) 2 pence, 5 pence, 10 pence, 20 pence, 50 pence, 1 pound, and 2 pound. A pound is broken into 100 pence (pennys). The paper notes in use in England are the 5 pound, 10 pound, 20 pound and 50 pound notes. A pound equals approximately 2 U.S. dollars. The schilling (12 pence) is no longer used, the bob is slang for a schilling and quid is slang for a paper 1 pound note.

Pound and Quid are the same thing.. Quid is like saying "a buck" in America instead of "a dollar." It's just slang.
Shillings no longer exist. They were replaced by penny--100 to a quid.
They used to be worth around 5 penny, however.

The rest of the denominations of money are in pence or quid form.
