Same here.  I still call it all real, rather than old, money.

How many people under 30 can tell us what LSD (as in currency, NOT
recreational drug) is short for, I wonder?

Libra, (sisterna?)/shillings, denarii if I guess correctly. I know it's the useless £sd system which was got rid of 1971, though. I'm glad to have a sensible currency system nowadays.

I'm nearly 17.
