A quick definition of pound sterling:

Pound sterling is the official money used in the United Kingdom. It is made up of 100 smaller units called pence. It is also a unit of weight equal to 16 ounces or 7,000 grains. In the past, it was also used to describe a place where impounded property or stray animals were held until they were redeemed or claimed by their owners.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Pound sterling is the basic monetary unit of the United Kingdom. It is equal to 100 pence.

For example, if you have 5 pounds, it is the same as having 500 pence.

Pound sterling is also sometimes referred to as just "pound".

In addition to being a currency, the word "pound" can also refer to:

  1. A place where impounded property is held until redeemed.
  2. A place for the detention of stray animals.
  3. A measure of weight equal to 16 avoirdupois ounces or 7,000 grains.

For example, if your dog gets lost and is picked up by animal control, they may take it to the pound until you can come and get it.
