There is no such Chinese saying.
#1. Pound is not a Chinese unit of measurement.
#2. A unit of weight in silk can't possibly command the same unit of weight in gold. That doesn't even make sense.
#3. Chinese people are not stupid, they do not say idiotic things like that. I think you heard it from a carpet seller.

How much is 10 shillings in todays money?
10 shillings in _1830_ would be about $500 in '14. 10 shillings in _1930_ would be about $114 in '14. (Used concertina.com/calculator and the exchange rate converter built into Google.) ------------------- Presuming that you are referring to British shillings, there were 20 to the pound; thus, 10 shillings would be half a pound. As of January 21, 2009, the pound was worth about US$1.39 - thus, 10 shillings would equate to about 70 cents ------------------- All the old money has long since been demonetized and has no value today. If, however, you want to know what modern equivalent trades in it's place, the 50p coin is the nearest to the old 10 shilling note as both are equal to half a pound within their respective systems. If you're looking to establish a numismatic value for a 10 shilling note or 10 1 shilling coins or other old money equivalent then you need to consult a price guide or a dealer.
