£ is called pound sterling. £1.50p would be 1 pound and 50 pence
(there are 100 Penny's aka 100 pence to £1= 1 pound)
1pence is also called a penny.
We do not use the Euro and hopefully we will never have it introduced here.
We have NOT used the Shilling since 1971. Some old people do and 1 Shilling is 5p (5 penny's or 5 pence)
and half a crown is 50p
When we had £ pound notes (paper money not coins) they were known as nicker. so 2 pound notes were known as a pair of nickers (knickers).
Here we still buy and pay for HORSES in Guineas. (a guinea is worth slightly more than a £)

The money of England (and the rest of Britain) is the Pound.

English money is called "pounds sterling". Coinage is more complex than ours, using pence, shillings, and a variety of other coins.
