It means that "He" is not very clever, or, he is a dope, or, he is a bit slow - he is only ten pence to the shilling (of 12 pence).
Variations to this saying are many.
Also -
He is a sheep short in the top paddock.
He is not playing with a full deck (of cards).
He is a sandwich short of a picnic.
He is not the full Quid.
The lights are on, but nobody is home.
These are all expressions indicating that the subject is lacking in mental capacity or acuity.
