The shilling is a unit of currency formerly used in the United Kingdom, Australia, and other British Commonwealth countries. The word shilling comes from scilling, an accounting term that dates back to Anglo-Saxon times, and from there back to Old Norse, where it means "division". In fact, many Norse-influenced countries use the term too.
