There has been a discussion about how £sd was represented on punch cards
at Wikipedia. Editors have dug out the PL/1 and COBOL manuals from the
'60s to show this. See page 143ff at
http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/ibm/360/os/cobol/C28-6516-2_IBM_OS360_COBOL_Language_Dec64.pdf
For the discussion see

I'm not pushing for a 50 year-old IBM extension to be added! It might
be of interest to computer historians though.
