 Dollar is shift-4 on a UK keyboard. Pound is shift-3. Hash is on the right
hand side, one right from single quote.

 Although this also might be another UK - US difference; I've seen # (hash)
referred to as the "pound sign" for some reason, whereas the pound sign is £.

 Here's a picture, although the ~/# key is a row too high on this picture
compared with all the UK keyboard's I've used.
