For sale: a domain name representing one of the most well known currencies in the world. If you’ve got the cash lying around to burn and desire a potentially lucrative domain to own then bust out your checkbooks and get ready to bid for £.com.

£.com, representing the British pound, is a symbol-based domain. The sale of this domain, part of a two domain deal (the other being poundsymbol.com), is being offered by Moneyedge, a small British Internet investments firm. £.com makes use of IDN (International Domain Name) technology and to access the domain visitors need to use a recent Web browser like Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox 2 and be in one of the 18 countries that have the £ symbol on their keyboards. IDN-enabled browsers are estimated now at around 45% market share world-wide.

Bids on the £.com two domain package are being taken through August 30. Moneyedge provided no estimation on how much it might fetch in the auction.
