MircoITBUT, is it possible that when you've got to say a price which includes decimal, the value, no matter what, get to be singular?? as she wrote four pound fifty? or is it only correct four pounds fifty?

In BrE, "four pound fifty" and "four pounds fifty" are both heard (and similarly with other amounts). To me, "four pound fifty" sounds more casual, or more
