I'm curious about the current value of 5 bob. I've heard this old slang term and want to know how much it's worth in today's currency.

To convert this into today's currency, we need to remember that decimalisation changed the value of shillings and pence.

Before the decimalisation of currency in 1971, the United Kingdom used a different monetary system.
