For sale: a domain name representing one of the most well known currencies in the world. If you’ve got the cash lying around to burn and desire a potentially lucrative domain to own then bust out your checkbooks and get ready to bid for £.com.
£.com, representing the British pound, is a symbol-based domain. The sale of this domain, part of a two domain deal (the other being poundsymbol.com), is being offered by Moneyedge, a small British Internet investments firm. £.com makes use of IDN (International Domain Name) technology and to access the domain visitors need to use a recent Web browser like Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox 2 and be in one of the 18 countries that have the £ symbol on their keyboards. IDN-enabled browsers are estimated now at around 45% market share world-wide.
Bids on the £.com two domain package are being taken through August 30. Moneyedge provided no estimation on how much it might fetch in the auction.

No indication on price but it’s got to be worth a million plus, pounds of course!
Be interesting to see what happens here.
