As of July 2010 the Exchange rate is as Follows:

1 US Dollar = 0.6431 British pound

OR

1 British pound = 1.5549 US Dollars

So 140 British pounds = (140x 1.5549) = 217.686 US Dollars

That's a little over 1 and a half American Dollars per British Pound

FYI

before the British credit crunch the normal exchange rate between the English pound and US dollar was around the US dollar doubling the English pound so...

140 pounds would have been 280 dollars :D
