5. Read the text and choose the best answer (a, b, c or d) to the questions 1-3. The history of the english pound
England has enjoyed a relatively stable single national currency with an unbroken history of over 900 years. The origins of the pound sterling date even further back. In fact, the pound as a unit of currency has never had to be replaced by a new currency, in contrast to many European currencies. The pound has also been preferred and widely accepted in international trade for two hundred years. As a result, other countries had to adapt their currency arrangements to fit in with sterling.
The pound was introduced into England by the Normans even before William I conquered and united England in 1066. It was originally an amount of silver weighing a pound and became the basis of the monetary systems throughout the British colonies. With Britain’s head start in the Industrial revolution, developments in banking, her military victories and the spread of the British Empire during the 19th century, the pound sterling became the world’s most important currency.
After the Norman Conquest, the pound was divided into twenty shillings. The shillings were made of silver and the weight of twenty shillings was exactly that of one pound. The shillings were then divided into twelve pence or pennies. The pennies were made of copper, and the weight of twelve pennies was exactly the weight of one shilling. On 15th February, 1971, Britain introduced the decimal system. This meant that the pound (₤) was equal to 100 pence (p) which made it much easier to use.
