Monterey English keyboard doesnt give pound sign only

Which key you press to get £ depends on which Input Source you have set in System Preferences > Keyboard > Input Sources. Can you tell us what that is?

If "US", then £ is on option 3. If "British", then £ is on Shift 3.

If one of those does not work, what do you get instead?

Hi,

Try Shift+3 on English keyboard.
