English and American Money
The word money is usually singular. If it is used in plural it may have the forms
"moneys" and "monies" and mean different currencies, i. e. money of different
countries.
In Great Britain and the USA there are special signs to denote money. These signs
emerged mostly as abbreviated forms from common words except $. They are used
only in their written forms, in speech they are pronounced as common words:
, < ,ibra — pound of sterling — фунт стерлингов = 20 шиллингам; 100 пенсам.
s < shilling — шиллинг — 1/20 фунта.
d < denarius (устаревшее) — пенни, пенс.
p < penny, pennies, pence — пенни, пенс, пенсы.
gu., gs. < guinea, guineas — гинея, гинеи; 1 гинея= 21 шиллингу.
$ < dollar (since 1786) — доллар = 100 центам.
C < cent — цент = 0,01 доллара.
In Russian we denote the sum of money after numerals: 20 руб. 50 к. In English
the larger sum of money (dollars, pounds of sterling) has the signs before numerals: $
200; , 80, but it must be read: two hundred dollars; eighty pounds of sterling or eighty
quid (slang).
2
The smaller money — shillings and pennies in Great Britain are written after the
numerals: , 80 5 s. 2 d (p) or , 80 5/2. The sum is read: eighty pounds, five shilling,
twopence [' t
ћpens].
The same goes for USA smaller money: $ 247 30 C — two hundred and forty
seven dollars thirty cents. More often penny or cent signs (P, C) are not written with
pouynds and dollars: $ 247.30 or , 80. 5/2.
It is not recommended to use both the symbol and word for the currency. Write ,10
(not ,10 pounds), $100 (not $100 dollars).

'quid' is a slang word for "pound of sterling". It is used only in a singular form: He earns fifty quid a week
=
, 50 в неделю.
