[HPFGU-OTChatter] speaking of british speak -- question re: money

[Marita Jan]

I watched Vera Drake last night and I have a question about money.  At one
point, a woman says she was told "two pounds" and another woman replies
that the first woman is incorrect, it's "two guineas."  American that I
am, I've always assumed when I've read British novels that a pound WAS a
guinea.  What's the difference in amount of money?

Thanks!


MJ
