I know that “s.” refers to “shillings” and “d.” to “pennies”, and I believe that “6d.” is “sixpence”.
Anyone?
If you have a source, all the better!

Correct, though I’m old enough to remember using old money, and it was never six and a half, just sixpence ha’penny.
I love all the old coin words: florin (two shillings), half a crown (two and six), thrup’nny bit (3d), farthing (quarter of a penny).
