I humbly request that future thought experiments not be done in £, since there is no "£" key on my keyboard.

Opt+3 for me as well (Mac); Alt+0163 for Windows.

If I was going to do that much, I'd just copy-and-paste from the article. It's still terribly inconvenient.

I'd suggest using the common three letter abbreviations for currencies (as found here for example), it avoids confusion between the various currencies known as dollars and avoids problems with symbol unavailability. For £s that would be GBP.
