The United Kingdom uses Pound Sterling - almost always just called the Pound.

1 Pound = 100 pence

As opposed to the previous answer, while Ireland does use the Euro, that is the Republic of Ireland, a completely different country.

Throughout the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Pound is the currency.

The currency in Britain is the pound. 100 pence (or pennies) equal 1 pound. Although Britain is a member of the European Union, it has so far opted out of adopting the Euro as its currency, which is widely used on mainland Europe.

Pound Sterling.

Pounds and Pence.

Slang terms include bread, dosh, wonga, quid, monkey, score, pony and dough

(a score refers to £100 and a pony would refer to £25).
