The first is the difference between Britain and Europe on Northern Ireland. In recent weeks, although the fishery dispute between Britain and Europe has eased slightly, the Northern Ireland issue has triggered a new round of tension.
The main reason is that Britain is dissatisfied with the Agreement on Britain's Leaving the EU signed in 2020, so it threatens to trigger the emergency clause called 16 in the Northern Ireland Protocol, which may trigger a trade war between Britain and Europe.
1. Pound is the name of the national currency and monetary unit in Britain. Sterling is mainly issued by the Bank of England, but there are also other issuers. The most commonly used symbol for the pound is. The currency code of ISO 42 17 adopted by the International Organization for Standardization is the pound. In addition to Britain, the currencies of British overseas territories are also denominated in British pounds, and the exchange rate with British pounds is fixed at 1: 1.
As Britain is the earliest industrialized country in the world and once dominated the international financial industry, the pound was once the most widely used currency in international settlement business. After World War I and World War II, Britain's economic status has been declining, but due to historical reasons, Britain's financial industry is still very developed, and the pound still occupies a very high position in the settlement of foreign exchange transactions. The pound is printed with donation figures and royalties.
2. The original name of the pound is (punde before 1280), the former is a unit pound, and the latter "stall" is a proper term of 925 silver (925 silver and 75 brass in 1000). Together, these two words mean that one pound is equal to one pound of silver with a purity of 925-that is, the pound is "gold". Pound's abbreviation L (or lb) comes from Latin libra (weighing one pound), and when L is added with Shilling s (from the Roman monetary unit solidus), it becomes \ \ (obviously a beautified version). Before 197 1, the British currency was divided into three grades: pound, shilling and penny. The symbol of the pound is penniless and too complicated, so this copper coin representing the smallest monetary unit was abandoned. Pence, the original text of penny, is the plural of penny, and its symbol D comes from denarius, the smallest monetary unit in Roman times.
