Hi i never really paid too much attention in history lol but i would like to know what is this sign £? is it eruo's, pounds, or something else....

thank you in advance
 
Just wow....

Kasanova, without using google - Who is the British prime minister?
 
Sorry but I'm not from any european contry therefore I only know $ which is what we use here in the USA... it was just a random question as I am now able to buy things oversees and so i could convert the £ to $ I would have to know what £ meant. And the prime minister as of June 7th 2007 is Gordon Brown, and no i didnt use google, i used wikipedia lol

if you hadn't of used wikipedia would you have known?

is it true that only 20% of americans have a passport?

if not, your not doing that statistic any favours :lol:
 
You do realise that there are other countries apart from the USA, and therefore other currencies.

Sorry to sound like a dick but seriously dude...
 
Weather ur not European or not you should no.
It just goes to show how stupid some Americans are really, no offence
 
Maybe not stupid, but certainly not really developped if it comes to knowledge about the rest of the world.
 
Cut him some slack. He's from Jersey :p Just messing with ya dude. I'm sure there are plenty of people from other countries unfamiliar with the GBP sign as well I'm sure some don't recognize the Euro sign as well.

I don't know any statistics of passports, but I don't have one. No need until I feel like leaving the country. Due to the vast size of the US compared to European countries, Americans don't leave the US as often as y'all leave your countries. Going from state to state in the US is equivalent to going from country to country in Europe only no Passport required for that. It was frickin 15 hour drive to Orlando, Florida from where I am (and I had to suffer that drive in a piece of **** Chevy HHR)

Also, I would like to know if y'all off the top of your heads can come up with a general equivalent figure from USD to GBP or Euro. I can hear an amount in GBP, Yen, or Euro and can make a general estimate of what the USD amount would be or vice versa. Not everyone else really gives a **** to learn it just like Kasanova here never learned the GBP sign at all. You have to remember, like he said, the GBP sign is not common around here (notice I'm not even using it, cause it's not on our keyboards) so naturally some people won't recognize it though they may actually know what GBP is.

Wikipedia is good isn't it? Pound (currency) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is not that we're stupid, just some of us, no scratch that; most of us Americans dont really recognize many of those symbols as we rarely leave the country as often. Now if anybody would've said GBP or Euro or any other currecy in word form not symbol form then i would have understand even better but the sign is what threw me off.
 
It just doesn't sense as I knew what $ was long before I went out of the country and that's young
 
$ is also a lot more common worldwide as there are quite a few countries that use it (US, Canada, Australia, etc.).
 
well a country as small as england compared to america

and the fact that england is one of a few EU countries to not change to euro

but you still should have googled lol
