currency sign

Monetary notation mark

A currency sign is a symbol representing a unit of money: the dollar sign ($), euro sign (€), pound sign (£), yen sign (¥), and so on.

These appear before or after numerals depending on convention: $50, 50€.

The generic currency sign (¤) serves as a placeholder when a specific symbol is unavailable.
