The ‘d’ still lives on with our nail sizes...
The ‘/’stands for shilling. 12 d to the /; 20/ to the £.
At the time the £ was worth close to $5 so a shilling was worth about 25¢ to get an idea of the prices back then.

Yes, it does. It stood for denarius. “Penny” is still a standard of measure used for nails in the US, abbreviated as “d”.

Yes, and by my calculations, 1 pence from 1913 equals 68.5 cents of today’s American dollars. So about $6.85 for the “Boiled Cod Hollandaise”.
