On your Mac you should have an icon (American flag?)on the very top toward the right indicating the character set you are using. Click on the icon and you will be able to open the character palette, one of which is monetary symbols. Click on the pound sing and then on insert.

On a Mac, press the option key while typing a 3 for the British pound sign.

option + 3 = £
option + 4 = ¢
option + shift + 2 = €

what ellenem said . . .

(I also have the keyboard viewer michael describes -- but for typing currency signs, the Option+3 is easier/quicker.)
