A NEW MONEY PUZZLE

The largest sum of money that can be written in pounds, shillings, pence, and farthings, using each of the nine digits once and only once, is £`98,765, 4`s. `3`½d. Now, try to discover the smallest sum of money that can be written down under precisely the same conditions. There must be some value given for each denomination—pounds, shillings, pence, and farthings—and the nought may not be used. It requires just a little judgment and thought.
