Coins of the pound sterling exact decimal equivalent values continued in use after 1971 alongside the new coins, albeit with new names (the shilling became equivalent to the 5p coin, with the florin equating to 10p), and the others were withdrawn almost immediately. The use of florins and shillings as legal tender in this way ended in 1991 and 1993 when the 5p and 10p coins were replaced with smaller versions. Indeed, while pre-decimalisation shillings were used as 5p coins, for a while after decimalisation many people continued to call the new 5p coin a shilling, since it remained of a pound, but was now
Decimal and ["x"] amounts to which is either 0, if "d" = 0, or gets arbitrarily small, when "n" tends to infinity. According to the definition of a limit, "x" is the limit of ["x"] when "n" tends to infinity. This is written as formula_7 or which is called an infinite decimal expansion of "x". Conversely, for any integer ["x"] and any sequence of digits formula_8 the (infinite) expression is an "infinite decimal expansion" of a real number "x". This expansion is unique if neither all "d" are equal to 9 nor all "d" are equal to 0 for "n" large
