ADDING THE DIGITS

If I write the sum of money, £`987, 5`s. `4`½d.., and add up the digits, they sum to `36`. No digit has thus been used a second time in the amount or addition. This is the largest amount possible under the conditions. Now find the smallest possible amount, pounds, shillings, pence, and farthings being all represented. You need not use more of the nine digits than you choose, but no digit may be repeated throughout. The nought is not allowed.
