So I recently purchased a magazine and it turned out to be from England. Okay, that's all fine and dandy.

I looked at the price of it and there was the pound sign (not # but the other sign for the English pound, I don't know how to bring it up on the computer). It was followed by 2.99.

My question: In the US, I would say that it costs "two dollars and ninty-nine cents". How would you say it in pounds? The best I could come up with was "two pounds and ninty-nine ounces".

Thanks. It was a stupid question but it's been bothering me now for a few days and I didn't feel like looking it up.

I think the funniest money I have seen is the Canadian money. The one dollar coin is called a 'loonie' because it has a picture of a 'bird' called the 'loon' on it. The two dollar coin is called a 'Twonie.'
'Loony Toons' like the cartoon.

"Abidy, abidy, abidy." "That's all folks." 😵

So you've screwed enough American guys to say we've all got tiny wangs, huh?
