There is no one correct answer. There are actually 3 correct answers in the poll and 2 incorrect answers:
1-Euro currency (EUR)
2-Pound Sterling currency (GBP)
3-Pound weight icon (about 1/2 kg)
4-Pound symbol on many computer and phone keypads, more commonly a hashtag
5-Dollar currency (USD, CAD, AUD)

There's a man in the pound who'll pound a pound of apples for a pound or for two pound you can pound him in the pound showers before the warden pounds his beat.

That should confuse non native speakers.

Holy F, What? lol

2 is actually Sterling but Pound in typical uses. 3 and 4 are technically pounds... but weight and hash is more accurate to me

[wynning]

Thanks for MHO

#4. See what I did there? LOL. (it's also a number sign)

Also #2 if you are spending money in the UK.

#3 is an abbreviation for weight in pounds.

[NicholasRedone]

@Lliam I see 👀

[NathanDavis]

this one...

[Razp_Sorbet]

Well there's two there's the symbol for the currency pound sterling £ and then there's the # symbol which is also called a pound

[EmmaMary]

No. 2 is the correct British Currency Sign (£).

[molonski2]

If currency you are talking , it's number 2

If weight , I don't meassure in pounds , KGs only.

[sage2021]

Of course it's number 4!!

See, there are advantages of being older because I know how things used to be and how they are now.

Well there’s three symbols there that are also considered the pound but if you’re talking about the pound as in money then it’s number two, the other pound symbol is on the phone and the other one would only show a picture of pounds

[bolverk]

2, 3, 4 are 'Pound' signs,

2 - £ is currency,

3 - lb is weight,

4 - is number

[FunkyMonkee]

The 2nd and 3rd. The 4th is the number symbol. It's called, an octothorpe.

[CaptainSmartass]

No. 2. I haven't seen the others in use for 'pounds' while out and about.

Simples...

[douride2]

Now this would very much depend on which pound you are referring to.

[Massageman]

4, for my uses. I can see where others would also be used for monetary units and weights.

[shortster]

From top to bottom Euro symbol, British pound, physical pound, pound/number symbol, and US dollar symbol.

[MustBeMusic]

guess it depends on the pound. and the location. and generation.

[Nikki1989]

A pound of what?

[OlderAndWiser]

2, 3, and 4

[OlderAndWiser]

I was entirely correct. You owe me $100.

Depending on nationality, 2 and 4.

[NicholasRedone]
