Can't you add the price symbol to the regexp for the price? It is contained in 
the data as follows:

,PriceCurSymbol:"£",Currency:"GBP",CurSymbol:"£",M

Now you can have two entries (one for pound and one for pennies) and if they 
swap between them one will match while the other fails ;)  Just an idea
