It boils down to "what can that currency buy?" The pound has always been very strong vs the dollar. It has much to do with the economy of both nations, and what each is doing to keep its finances in check.\nThe UK economy is strong, has influence in the world, and I doubt that Mr.Blair is running a Trillion dollar deficit.

i'm not sure how accurate this is but apparently the dollar ($) symbol originally started off as a letter "U" superimposed onto a letter "S" to indicate that the currency was from the US and over time the bottom of the U was dropped off as the dollar was adopted by other countries so it was just left as an S with 2 vertical lines through it.\ni'm not too sure about the other currency symbols though.

I don't think it was derived from the astrological sign Libra, but from the Latin word "libra" which means scales or balance.  The British symbol for pound sterling (actually a stylized L) derives from the same word.
