Definitely not currency.  For the purpose of the original feeble
lampoon attempt I'd define pound as a measure of weight, which will
vary for a specific mass depending on the gravitational force exerted
on it.  I think we're both roughly paraphrasing the same idea, or at
least loosely around the same idea.
