What about preceding them with a pound sign? You could say

immediately thought of British (GBP) pounds: £.
I always looked at that sign as a funky L, which could denote “locked
away” or “local”.Party line: Break the hegemony the US has! Support other monetary
symbols for special purposes in computer languages!
