A New Money Puzzle

The largest sum of money that can be written in pounds, shillings, pence, and farthings, using each of the nine digits once and only once, is £98,765, 4s. 3½d. Now, try to discover the smallest sum of money that can be written down under precisely the same conditions. There must be some value given for each denomination--pounds, shillings, pence, and farthings--and the nought may not be used. It requires just a little judgment and thought.
