I don't know of other currency symbols. But note that the default
\pounds definition of LaTeX as given in lfonts.tex is wrong. First,
the font cmu10 should be used instead of cmti10 (to get an upright
symbol, not an italic one). Second, in the math part of the
definition a blank is missing after the number "424. (try $\pounds1$).
