Silver shillings

I announced on the 8th of August that the revolutionary government would give a supplement to manual workers in the form of shillings like the old victorian shillings made of sterling silver. The rule for the exchange value of these shillings into normal pounds is that the value never goes down but each time the real value of silver increases enough to put the value of the shilling up by 50 pence the Bank of England will announce an increase.

Silver has risen from £17.90 to  £19.20 today, or you could say it now takes over £19 to buy something that cost less than £ 18, just 16 days ago. This makes the shilling £5.36
Not sufficient for the bank to anounce any increase, the value is still £5. It could be a year or more before there it reaches £5.50 and triggers an increase. I bet you wish you had some shillings though.  Get a manual job, and vote for the revolutionary government and you will.
