∙ 11y agoThere is no currency called 'England pounds'. The currency used in England is the British Pound (symbol: £, abbreviation: GBP). It is sometimes also the called the 'Pound Sterling'.
The British pound is used through the UK, the Isle of Man, the Channels, and in many British Overseas possessions, for example Gibraltar, Falkland Islands.
The banknotes used in England are issued by the 'Bank of England', this is perhaps the cause of the confusion.
