The default encoding in Python 2 is ascii, and the pound sign is not part of
that.

Specify an alternative encoding, preferably UTF-8:
>>> import pandas
>>> df = pandas.DataFrame([[u"\xa3123"], [u"\xa3321"]], columns=["Price"])
>>> df
Price
0 £123
1 £321
[2 rows x 1 columns]
>>> df.to_csv("tmp.csv", encoding="utf-8")
>>>
$ cat tmp.csv
,Price
0,£123
1,£321
$
