What was one shilling worth in world war 2?

During World War II (1939-1945), one shilling was worth 12 pence or 1/20 of a pound sterling (£). The pound sterling was the official currency of the United Kingdom and was used in many other countries within the British Empire. The shilling was a silver coin that was smaller than the crown, half-crown, and florin. It was commonly used for everyday transactions and was equivalent to approximately 2.4 cents in US currency during World War II.
