Only the dollar $ (36) seems to be in the ASCII set:

Ascii Table - ASCII character codes and html, octal, hex and decimal chart conversion (http://www.asciitable.com/)

I found euro € (8364), Pounds Sterling £ (163)and yen ¥ (165) in the Unicode set:

Unicode 4.0 / ISO 10646 Plane 0 (http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/utf8-t1.html)

I'm not at all familiar with the currency symbol(s) China uses

IF you are using Microsoft Windows you might have to copy the euro € character from the Character Map application or use an application specific function, as the ALT+number keyboard trick only seems to work with three digit codes.
