| And there were 20 shillings in an old British pound, and 12 old pence per shilling, so 240 old pence per pound. A guineais in modern pounds is £1.05, It’s still used sometimes in UK auctions: paid in Guineas – £1.05 to account for 5% auction fees. |

Say Bitcoin supply was 1millon guineas, then a Guinea would be 21 BTC where 1 BTC = 1 shilling. So I guess that would make a Bitcoin guinea 21×12=252 pence, or 2016 half-farthings (derivation fourthling). Now that number looks familiar 👀 2016 blocks per difficulty adjustment
