is there a difference between the american £billion and the english £billion?

Answer 1

The figures are possibly the same, but with the exchange rates at the moment, you'd probably do better being a British Billionaire.

Answer 2

Actually when it comes to the one once gold coins they are both the same in weight and are .917 fine, that is the American $50 eagle and the British 100 Pounds. The new American Buffalo gold is .9999 fine. Due to Americans buying up a lot of the bullion coins, the American eagle sells for more than the British coin. As an example on 3/08/07 the American eagle was valued at $725.40 and the British 100 Pounds was valued at $693.51 on the London gold exchange. When it come to the silver American eagle and the British Britannia the British win out, for they limit the amount struck, so it is a rarer coin. I am an American, but the silver Britannia's over the years have been a very beautiful coin and well worth adding to any collection.

Answer 3

The English billion used to be 10^12 but this was devalued to 10^9 around 1974. Some European countries still use the traditional billion.

Answer 4

Yes, the British Pound is worth more than 2+times the American Dollar.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7

the english is about twice as much. it's approx 50p to the dollar

but you said english pound and american pound so it's 1 billion times more cos there's no such thing

Answer 8
