No, it should still be "pound."  Translating British monetary units into 
American is not metricizing.  British money was decimalized 
("metricized") in 1971, so that a pound now consists of 100 (new) 
pence.  Previously, a pound was divided into 20 shillings, and a 
shilling was further divided into 12 old pence.
