ALT Currency Symbols for International Film Shoots

Sometimes you don’t want to use the 3-digit currency code when typing references to money. If you only need to refer to your own country’s currency – that’s easy – because your currency’s symbol is bound to be easily found on your keyboard.

Here are some keyboard short cuts for other currencies too:

While holding down “Alt” (on a PC), type the number next to it (using the number keypad), and then release.

$	ALT 36	USD, CAD, AUD…	Dollar (various countries)
£	ALT 156	GBP	Pound Sterling
€	ALT 0128	EUR	Euro
¥	ALT 157	JPY	Yen

For symbols not included in the reference lists above, look for the “insert a symbol” or “insert a special character” menu to find a complete list of international symbols available to you on the software of your computer.

Cheers & a great international shoot to you,
Deb
