CHE SIGNIFICA SHILLING IN INGLESE
Scellino
Lo scellino è un'unità di valuta utilizzata in precedenza nel Regno Unito e negli ex paesi del Commonwealth Britannico. La parola shilling deriva dalla scimpanzé, un termine contabile che risale a tempi anglosassoni dove si riteneva che fosse il valore di una mucca in Kent o in una pecora altrove. Si pensa che la parola derivi dalla base dello skull, "da squillare / risuonare" e dal suffisso minuscolo. I termini slang per le vecchie monete dello shilling includono "bob" e "hog". L'abbreviazione dello shilling è s, dal latin solidus, il nome di una moneta romana. Spesso era informalmente rappresentato da una barra, in piedi per un lungo s: ad esempio, "1/6" sarebbe 1 scellino e sei pence, spesso pronunciato "uno e sei". Un prezzo senza pence sarebbe scritto con una barra e un trattino, ad esempio "11 / -". Molto spesso un triangolo o un apostrofo sarebbe usato per dare un aspetto più vistoso, ad esempio "1'6" e "11'-". In Africa, è spesso abbreviato sh. Durante il Grande Recoinage del 1816, la menta fu istruita per coniugare una sterlina di argento standard in 66 scellini, o il suo equivalente in altre denominazioni.
