    If you mean this character: £ then press down and release the Num Lock key located in the upper left part of the number pad on the right side of your keyboard so that the LED above is lit and release that key. Then hold down the Alt key and type 156 using that number pad.

    If you go to an online ASCII table such as, http://www.asciitable.com/ then you can find a fairly comprehensive list of other characters such as ∞, π, the degree symbolº, and their key combinations.

    Alt + 0163 (on the numeric keypad) should make a £ work on all keyboards. 0156 gives me an œ.
