Currency Pound

The currency-pound icon represents British Pound Sterling with its distinctive pound sign (£) design. This UK monetary symbol has become the standard indicator for GBP pricing, pound-based transactions, and British currency across all modern e-commerce platforms and financial applications serving the United Kingdom.

In modern applications like ASOS's pricing displays or Monzo's banking interfaces, you'll see this pound symbol indicating GBP amounts, British payment options, and UK currency selections. It appears in forex trading platforms where GBP exchange rates, or in international marketplaces like eBay UK where pound pricing requires clear currency identification for British customers.

From a UK commerce perspective, the pound sign communicates more than basic currency - it specifically indicates GBP denomination, British market context, and the historical significance of sterling in global finance. This distinction helps users in the UK recognize their national currency representation in international platforms.

Currency Pound is one of 1,288 icons in HeroIcons, made by Refactoring UI Inc and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 1.5 stroke.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds CurrencyPoundIcon to components/icons/heroicons-currency-pound.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed CurrencyPoundIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Yes, if your project has @heroicons/react/24/outline: Currency Pound is `CurrencyPoundIcon` there, used as <CurrencyPoundIcon />. The shadcn.io MCP server answers with that import when it finds the package. Without it, copy the icon from here.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Currency Pound icon, or any of 1,288 HeroIcons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.

Currency Pound is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 1.5. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Currency Pound", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. CurrencyPoundIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <CurrencyPoundIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming HeroIcons, Refactoring UI Inc and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
