Shillings are no longer legal tender in the UK and there is no direct currency exchange because of that.

A shilling (UK) was a pre-decimal coin worth 12 old pence. After the UK decimalised its currency in 1971 most of the pre-decimal coins continued to remain legal tender but had their value changed, so a shilling became worth 5 new pence, a sixpence was worth 2 1/2 etc.

Over the following months many of the old coins were withdrawn from circulation and ceased to be legal tender, but the shilling and 2 shilling coins (worth 5p and 10p) continued to be legal tender until the early 1990's when they were replace by coins what were much smaller, a size that is legal tender still.

If the coin was still legal tender it would be worth about $0.08.

currently the coins only value is as a collectable/antique, and so it depends on the year and condition of the coin.

The value was much higher in the past - a shilling in 1830 might have been the equivalent of $30 today.
