The old English monetary system was based on the Carolingian system which actually worked through large parts of Europe during the middle ages and was partly based on older roman denominations:
Pound = 12 shillings = 240 pennies
Shilling = 12 pennies
New Denarius (penny)
I like Sats. I also like the idea of some inbetween (1k, 50k, 250k, etc) names. Bonus if they sound old timey, and can reference something as far back as the Carolingians or Rome.
I feel the same about the American Standard system of everything (length / distance, weights, temperature, volume and dates). I’m surprised you guys kept seconds, minutes and hours. What the hell.
