Pounds, shillings and pence. Before decimalisation, the UK currency was 12 pennies made a shilling and 20 shillings made £1. This was called LSD for decades, way before the drug. Therefore £1 was 240 pennies. After decimalisation in 1971, there were just 100 pennies in £1. The coins still said 1p etc hence the confusion.
