Bank of England 10s note

(

)

... that the Bank of England 10s note was replaced by the fifty pence coin during decimalisation?

Article is new enough, long enough, and is adequately cited to reliable sources (as reliable as the Bank of England can be anyway...) The hook fact is present and uncontroversial. I do wonder if the slash in the title will cause more difficulty than it's worth (technically it makes the article a subpage of Bank of England 10) but that's not to say it's not valid. Is this the preferred nomenclature or would spelling "ten shilling note" be better? Either way the nomination itself is good to go. GRAPPLE ^X 12:22, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Yes it's a bit unfortunate really. I think 10/- is the most usual way of writing it but 10s is also sometimes used. Retroplum (talk) 14:18, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
I've decided to switch over to the 10s notation since it was causing a few issues. Retroplum (talk) 14:24, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
