Just an aside (I am completely stumped by this) I remember using shilling and two shilling pieces as a child. They were accepted in lieu of 5p and 10p coins. But the country decimalised before I was born.
So I understand that the question has a more elegant answer than V suggested, but the words "in circulation" still include discontinued coinage in my head.
