Overview
This page is a list of symbols used in everyday life to denote that a number is a monetary value, such as the dollar sign "$", the Pound sign "£", and the Euro sign "€".
IMPORTANT - We also maintain a full list of three-letter codes used internationally to distinguish one currency from another, such as "USD" for the United States Dollar, "GBP" for the United Kingdom Pound, and "EUR" for the Euro. To see a complete list of all of these codes, refer to our XE.com - ISO 4217 Type Currency Code List.

Fonts Used in this Page
Each currency symbol is presented first as a graphic, then in three "Unicode-friendly" fonts: Code2000, Tahoma, and Arial Unicode MS. The graphic symbol in the first column will always be visible, but the symbols in the other columns may or may not be available, depending on which fonts are installed on your computer.
Note that of the three fonts used above, the Code2000 font is the most complete. The other fonts have more missing elements, which will appear as hollow boxes. No currency symbol is a hollow box; a hollow box always means that a font does not contain a symbol for that currency.
If you have all three of the above fonts installed, you may notice that the symbols vary slightly in design from one font to another. This is normal, as there are often multiple accepted ways of rendering a currency symbol. For example, in the United States, the dollar sign is sometimes rendered with two vertical lines, and sometimes with one, both of which are acceptable.
To install the Code2000 font, use the link above to download it and save it somewhere on your computer. Then, unzip the downloaded file and read the enclosed CODE2000.HTM file for the details on the shareware terms of use. That file also contains detailed instructions on how to install the file.
To find how work with currency symbols in your documents, scroll down to the How To Work With Currency Symbols section at the end of this page.
How To Work With Currency Symbols
To view and work with currency symbols on your computer, you first need to have fonts installed that are capable of displaying them. Not all font symbols are available in all fonts, although Code2000 comes pretty close. We recommend that you download and install the Code2000 font, which contains almost all symbols. (See the fonts section above on how to do this.)
Once the Code2000 font is installed, you can begin using the symbols in your documents.
