It look like your regional settings are wrong the keyboard is set to US standard instead of UK standard.
In Control Panel select Regional and Language Options
Select the Languages tab
At the top of this tab is Text services and language inputs. Press the Details button.
The Text services and language inputs window opens
On the Settings tab make sure you have the setting
English (United Kingdom) - United Kingdom
selected in the drop-down box at the top of this window.
The text box below it should then show
Keyboard
United Kingdom
instead of
Keyboard
US
Save the changes then you should be able to use £ instead of #.

I think you found the # key . Go to the very top of keyboard where all the numbers are.... start looking from left to right starting with number 1 then 2 then 3 it will have this on the key as well ( # ) { 3 / # } that is the pound key.
In order for it to print hold shift key down and press the # down.
****************OR ********************
press
ALT 0163 £££
ALT 156 £££

Your keyboard may be set to English but it is set to English (US) rather than English (UK) ..if you get a # sign when you press shift plus 3, (& not the £ sign), then your keyboard is definitely set to English USA settings...
You need to change it to English (United Kingdom).

You got a yank keyboard. Try ctrl or the windows icon with some of the buttons, it may have a hidden function.
I thought you meant british pound???

previous to the creation of the IBM computer there replaced into no unique universal usual for figuring out to purchase into, exhibiting, printing, or storing the £ signal in the united kingdom computer market. On own computers previous to the computer the "#" key replaced into oftentimes used; each each now and then it replaced into displayed on exhibit as "#", yet many printers may nicely be set up to print "£" the position "#" replaced into despatched to the printer by ability of an application software. Keying in, storing, exhibiting, and printing the signal oftentimes required particular setup. The "#" signal is often called "pound signal" in non-sterling countries.

# is the pound sign (shift 3) unless you are talking about pounds-sterling. ALT156 gets it from my system. I've put one here inside the parentheses (£), if it does not display as a pound-sterling sign, then it is not present on your font.
