What you need to know about the currency Pound Sterling
The british pound (GBP, symbol: £) is the oldest currency. Its origins date back to the year 800. It is the money used in the United Kingdom, England, and officially in other crown-dependent territories such as Guernsey, the Isle of Man, and Jersey.
Currently, there are four banknotes of sterling pounds: 50, 20, 10, and 5 GBP. They feature Queen Elizabeth II, although they will soon display the face of Charles III. They are made of polymer, so they have a plastic texture. Their issuance depends on the Bank of England.
The circulating GBP coins are 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 pence, and 1 or 2 pounds. The Royal Mint is responsible for producing them. Occasionally, commemorative coins of 5 GBP (crowns) are issued.
By placing all existing pound coins together by their reverse, the coat of arms of the United Kingdom is formed. This figure was achieved after the redesign in 2008. It features the harp of Ireland and the rampant lion of Scotland, among other motifs.
The English expression Spend a penny means to go to the toilet and its origin can be found in the payment of a penny that had to be made to use a public WC. This was implemented for the first time during The Great Exhibition of 1851.
