First I set some things up
	\def\Bf{\shape{n}\series{b}\family{cmr}\selectfont}
	\def\cmro{\shape{n}\family{cmr}\selectfont}

Then I start type--setting in Concrete

	\family{ccr}\size{12}{15pt}\selectfont

I change to computer modern bold for something

	{\Bf This is interesting ...

In the middle of this, I need a pounds sign, so I use

        {\cmro \pounds} more cmb ...}
	
and the pounds sign comes up as $ in cmb. 

In general if I say {\Bf blah {\cmro dah} blah} I get the dah
in \Bf not \cmro. Why ? Is this a feature ?
