Remapping keyboard key ($ to £)

Is there a way of assigning the $ key on my MBP keyboard to the £ symbol. My MBP is a US import and I wondered whether this was possible?

I can get round this by opening the keyboard characters and manually inserting it whenever I need it but it's just not the same as having it assigned on the keyboard.

Thank you.

System Preferences > International > Input Menu

scroll down to your desired keyboard layout and check the box.
