I'm sure there were a few reasons. Decimalization became popular because the math was easier. Also politically speaking, ex-colonies disliked the Empire since Britain had always been a meddling force. And then there's the fact that Britain lost it's empire to the US as penance for having the US come in and bail out Britain from WW2 so that Britain could live up to its agreements with the zionists for israel. Thus the US dollar was sealed as the world's dominant currency and made it that much easier to work with if the commonwealth changed over for a decimalized currency.
