The currency symbols like $ and £ are implicitly treated as money value in SQL Server
If you run the following code
SELECT $
SELECT £
You can see that both of the above statements return the value 0.00
It is also possible to use them in arithmetic calculations
SELECT $+5
returns 5.00
SELECT 45-£
returns 45.00
How many of you know this?
