There are even parts (ie most) of the world where the "pounds sign" is not
available on the keyboard and the screen can interpret an incoming pounds
sign as "#". (A GP-UK posting that came today has the "#" sign, others do
not). I am told that in programming circles "#" is referred to as the "pound
sign".
Of course the Euro will fix all that!!
