Many people over the years have been confused when
told to hit the pound key on their phone. I would think that
now with all the phone menus, enter this then the pound key,
most people are familiar with it.

Companies' recordings have used a recording message saying, "press the pound
sign." It was reported that not enough people could distinguish between the
pound sign and the asterisk (or star sign) that they had to stop those
instructions.

True or not, I don't know.

# = pound in weight (lb.)
