About the British Pound
The British pound (GBP), also known as pound sterling, is the official currency of the United Kingdom and one of the world’s oldest currencies still in use. Represented by the symbol £, the pound is divided into 100 pence and is available in a range of banknote and coin denominations. Banknotes in England and Wales are issued by the Bank of England and feature distinctive designs, polymer materials and advanced security features. The British pound has a long history and continues to play an important role in global trade and international financial markets. As the United Kingdom remains a popular destination for Australian travellers, GBP is also one of the most commonly exchanged foreign currencies for travel, business and other international transactions.
