GBP means Great Britain Pound and just refers to our currency here in the UK. Pounds Sterling. Are you saying that food prices (for example) are much the same in the US and why are you moving to England ? I live in England myself but I am originally from Northern Ireland. HANNAH IS WRONG WHEN SHE SAYS THAT THE UK IS ONE OF THE FEW COUNTRIES IN EUROPE THAT DOES NOT USE THE EURO ALONG WITH N. IRELAND. THIS IS WRONG BECAUSE N. IRELAND IS PART OF THE UK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!


James
Great Britain Pound

Its double what your currency is currently worth, or there abouts :))

GBP means Great Britain Pound and just refers to our currency here.

And the Euro is only used in Southern Ireland , all the UK is still the British pound

Great Britain Pound

its about

$2 US = $1 pound (our money)


1.994 to be exact

so multiply it by 1.994 and your amount of the american dollar


i.e 1.994*12

Great British Pound. Also called Pound Sterling, sometimes.

£1 = $2
£1 = €1.3
$1 = €0.64
(approx.)

Currently the GPB isn't doing so well with exchange rates (neither is the dollar I hear).

Most of Europe does use the Euro now, but the UK is one of the countries which doesn't, along with..

N.Ireland, Sweden, Latvia, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, Lithuania, Estonia, Czech, Denmark and Bulgaria.


gomez
GBD=GREAT BRITISH POUND..


Zaq Q
I think its a symbol for UK money i.e units to distinguish from another country's currency

Great Britian Pound, but doesn't everyone use the Euro now?
