Australian slang for a shilling, used during the era of pre-decimal currency. The term was common in 20th century Australian vernacular and belongs to a set of slang coin names borrowed from older British cant. Now obsolete following Australia's decimal currency change in 1966, but appears in period fiction and historical accounts.
He only had a deener in his pocket but that was enough for a pie and a beer back then.
