Teacher Re: British money There are several ways of reading £14.99 aloud.

Fourteen ninety-nine
For £14.09:
Fourteen pounds and nine pence
Fourteen pounds and nine.
Fourteen oh nine.
We never say "point".
My final suggestion in each list is probably the one you will hear most often in shops or from people just talking generally.

Teacher Re: British money Note that emsr2d2 wrote the figures as '£14.99'. There is no space after the '£' sign.
Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.
