Sorry Gordon, didn't think that you were working on a list of the past. I have never seen the symbol you are talking about. However I understand your problem. There is an ISO standard that sets the rules for currencies (ISO 3166). I states that if no symbol is used one would use the first two letters of the State and the third letter would be the currency. USD=United States Dollar, JPY=Japanese Yen, ITL=Italian Lira, FRF=French Franc, etc... Funnily enough the Euro does not follow that standard (EUR)... So to have evenly spaced definitions I would use this three letter system that will allow you to get an even column...
