Without googling, I think a groat was 4d (4 old pence).

Oh, I make the sum £19/18/9 3/4 - this is after 2 large glasses of red wine so may be rubbish.

I get £19.8s.9.1/2d. 1f. ... LOL.

Jaysays's correct on how quick you forget (never thought I would)... not sure if we converted the 3 farthings to one half penny and 1 farthing. :confused:

A groat was equal to four pennies or a four penny piece
I can remember my grandad saying he didn't care a groat...... so it can't have been much.
