what is the deal with pound signs having double crosses or not?

anyone know why we use single cross these days..somthing to do with keyboards?

I don't think it's significant, just a stylistic difference like using a different font. For what it's worth I hand-write pound signs with two cross-bars (I'm 24 if we think date might have something to do with it). PeteVerdon 10:17, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

The text uses the double cross for both examples although it is describing the diffence between two versions. This needs to be corrected.
