Yeah, comparing beer prices, it looks like the exchange rate is around 1 farthing = $5 USD (assuming buying direct from producer, not at a bar that is adding overhead after distribution. US booze distribution laws are insane and add tons of cost)

So that makes

  1 penny = $40
  1 crown = $200
  1 shilling = $480
  1 pound = $9600
