Decimal Day in the United Kingdom and in Ireland was Monday 15 February 1971, the day on which each country decimalised its respective £sd currency of pounds, shillings, and pence. Before this date, the British pound sterling (symbol "£") was subdivided into 20 shillings, each of 12 (old) pence, a total of 240 pence. With decimalisation, the pound kept its old value and name, but the shilling was abolished, and the penny was revalued, such that the pound was subdivided into 100 of what were originally called "new pence" ("NP"), and later just pence ("p") when confusion was no longer likely. Each new penny was worth 2.4 old pence (abbreviated "d"). A coin of half a new penny was introduced to maintain the granularity of the old penny, but was dropped in 1984 as inflation reduced its value.

  • El día de la decimalización (conversión de la moneda al sistema decimal) en el Reino Unido, y en Irlanda, fue el 15 de febrero de 1971. En este día, todas las naciones del Reino Unido pasaron a decimal sus antiguos sistemas monetarios lsd, compuestos por libras, chelines y peniques. Antes de esta fecha, la Libra esterlina estaba constituida por 20 chelines, cada uno de los cuales a su vez estaban constituidos por 12 peniques, conformando un total de 240 peniques por libra. El chelín fue abolido y la libra fue subdivida en 100 "nuevos peniques" (new pence; Abreviados "p"), cada uno de los cuales valía 2.4 "antiguos peniques" (old pence; Abreviados "d"). En Irlanda, la Libra irlandesa, la cual poseía una estructura lsd similar, tuvo cambios semejantes. (es)

  • Le 15 février 1971 est le jour où le Royaume-Uni et l'Irlande ont adopté un système monétaire décimal. Ce jour est connu dans ces pays comme le Decimal Day (littéralement « Jour décimal »), et en France comme le jour de la décimalisation. La perte de valeur de la monnaie signifiait que le vieux penny avait une valeur relativement faible, tandis que le farthing avait déjà été démonétisé le 1er janvier 1961. Le shilling a alors disparu et la livre a été divisée en cent pence. (fr)
