Sterling Pound has been in existence for over 1,200 years. Its origins dates back to the year 760. That’s a long way to go.

Did you know that in the year 928, one pound could buy you fifteen cows?

It was introduced as silver penny and changed during the history and named as pounds. When the currency notes were introduced, they were hand written by people employed by The Bank of England. After the printing technology introduced, it was later printed. How would people think when a printing technology took over the handwriting jobs?

It survived the England’s 1975 inflation. It is the fourth most traded currency in the foreign exchange market after USD, EUR, and YEN.
