Money

The UK system of money uses units of pounds and pence. We use the symbol £ to show pounds and p to show pence.

Writing amounts of money

We can write money in different ways.
- For example, five pounds is written as £5.
- Twenty pence is written as 20p.

Mixed units

We can also write combinations of pounds and pence.
For example, ten pounds and forty-five pence can be written as:
£10 and 45p or £10.45
You should not write the £ and the p sign together without using ‘and’.
- £3.50p is NOT correct.
- £3 and 50p is fine.

Coins and notes

UK coins and notes come in different amounts.
The coins are 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 and £2.
The notes are £5, £10, £20 and £50.

Number of coins in a pound

It is useful to know by heart how many of each coin there are in £1.

There are 100 pence in £1.
There are fifty 2p in £1.
There are twenty 5p in £1.
There are ten 10p in £1.
There are five 20p in £1.
There are 2 50p in £1.
