Talk:Sheep sells for £231,000 at auction

Guineas
Isn't there an exact translation between the old, predecimal currency and the current GBP (I seem to recall `1 guinea = 21 shillings = 1.05 GBP)? Couldn't the exact price be calculated and stated instead of "approximately 231 000 GPB" ? 76.117.247.55 (talk) 00:27, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
