Of course # is a sharp character.
Being in Australia which had moved to decimal currency by the time PCs were 
available we had the # on our keyboards. But being not such a young man I 
remember our previous currency (my first job was a paperboy which netted me £1 
17s 6p per week) and so I noticed the lack of the £ symbol and that it had been 
replaced by the #.
The thing is I still refer (internally) to it as a 'pound' symbol.
