Why do we have this comment "It was worth approximately 5 pence in the British coinage system."? It's true that at the end of its existence the Schilling was worth around GBP 0.05 (which in pre-decimal currency was one shilling), but that was just pure coincidence. When I first travelled to Austria in 1984, GBP 1 bought something like 34 schillings, and this was considerably less than a pound bought ten years earlier! -- Arwel 01:38 Mar 18, 2003 (UTC)
Think about that: there hadn't been the drift that happened between (say) the Pound and the Lira, or proportionality between the half crown under its occasional name the half dollar and half of the US dollar (they remained at reasonable ratios until the Second World War, but then drifted apart). So the "coincidence" is actually something rather remarkable. PML.
- Resuming the conversation over 3 years later: That's a silly argument - we say in the article that in the 1950's the Schilling was tied at 26 to the US dollar, this was at the time that a pound was fixed at $2.80, so then £1 = approx 73 schillings. -- Arwel (talk) 01:46, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
1863? I think it's 1983. --KF 19:03, 27 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Would it be worth linking via a see-also to Jeffrey Schilling?

- That should probab;y be linked in a disambiguation at the beginning or a seperate disambiguation page. Joe I 01:15, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] symbol
Expert of Austrian matters, please help. Is the symbol S before numbers or after? Is there a space between S and the numbers or not? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 04:39, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
- I seem to recall usually writing a serif font S in front of the numbers with a space in between, but as that used to be back when I was in elementary school, I wouldn't bet on it. —Nightstallion (?) 16:20, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
I reside in Austria since almost 30 years, and I think I can safely say that S is in front of the numbers with one space in between. But it was also very common to write öS instead of S. öS is a abbreviation and simply means: österreichische Schillinge (=Austrian Schillings). For example S 10,-- or öS 10,--. Dont forget, continental-european use the "," instead of a decimal point.
