    It changes it to what? Try using £ instead.

    As above, you should use the code for special symbols... that said, you may also want to check the character set encoding for your page if it isnt working with a normal typed pound sign - on a separate note, whats the . for between the £ and the 5 ?

    I assume your code is being sent to the browser which in case it does not recognize the ASCII code for that symbol. For HTML you need to use the &pound simple as others have suggested.
