Most of the people answering above are ignorant Americans (not suggesting this is a trait applicable to all Americans, just to many of those anwering above...!) who should limit their replies to topics concerning their neighborhood and hometown, let alone the world...
There is no such thing as the "English Pound" - the currency is the British Pound Sterling or GBP. 1GBP = $1.8987USD, the girl above got it the wrong way round.
An interesting point to note is that that around the British Isles, many different bills (or notes, as we call them in the UK) exist. Certain banks in the UK are authorized to print their own money, but its all "legal tender" under the crown - all the same currency (GBP). You may find yourself holding Clydesdale Bank, Bank of England, NatWest, RBS notes in your wallet at any one time

It is the symbol for pound, which is the currency in England.
Google 'currency converter', and you'll be able to convert any amount of pounds into US dollars (or the other way around).
Wishing you success!

it is the Pound sign. Also we do not use the Euro in the UK yet (for the guy that said it earlier) Not to be rude, but what do you actually learn in school over there?

The money is POUND and it is from England, the POUND is worth more than a US dollar, I believe it 1$ = 2.13£
Or something close to that, I can't remember the exact amount.
