Inches and feet still tend to be used for peoples' heights, somewhat interchangeably with metric, because it's easier to say "five foot seven" than "one-hundred and seventy centimetres" or "one point seven metres". While most people know roughly what a foot and an inch are, nobody uses miles except metaphorically. * It's amazing how often police reports give an unidentified suspect's height as 183 cm. That's six feet, to the nearest centimetre. * Old Money was used in Australia until it decimalised in 1966. No doubt it's used in fiction sometimes.
