The weight pound and the currency pound both derive from the same Latin word "libra" (Fr. livre), but in England we abbreviate the weight pound to lb. and the currency pound to #. I have also seen the same # sign in Italy and Egypt and doubtless there are a few other countries which still use it. But if you call that sign the hash, what then do you call #?
