Not just US. Canada, Australia, and several other countries use $ as the
symbol for their base currency. Switching to a Euro symbol would just be an
exchange that left others out. What about yen, Kroner, etc.? If you need
another symbol, then use a wholly different meta-character that is nothing
to do with currency at all.. For example some computer languages use a right
facing arrow as an assignment operator - this symbol is also used to mean
(left argument) is greater than (right argument).
I have the strange impression that you are teasing the group with an
arguement that has much noise and little light.
