National currency signs, grouped because they are built the same way: take a letter from the currency's name and strike it through once or twice. The convention is so consistent that the construction is recognisable even in a script you cannot read. Each record also carries the distinction that trips people up — the sign is for display, and the ISO 4217 three-letter code beside it is what actually moves money.
