  1. 3:00 There was a coin called guinea worth 21 shillings between 1717 and 1816. (The coin also existed before 1717 but that's the year its value was legally fixed at 21 shillings).

  2.  @parvchetri0995  Yes, but back then the value wasn't fixed at 21 shillings because pounds were made of silver whereas guinea was made of gold and the relative price of those metals affected the relative value of these coins.

  3.  @jimsimpson1006  Wouldn't 27 guineas be £28.35?

  4.  @jimsimpson1006  Ah, I see. Good thing the Brits got rid of that confusing nonsense. :)
