💱Currency Exchange Emoji

💱 is the currency exchange emoji, U+1F4B1, one of 2 in the Currencies set. It arrived with Unicode 6.0 (2010) and is commonly used for bank, currency and exchange.

What 💱 currency exchange means

The smallest subgroup on the site, with just two members. 💲 captions prices, wages and anything framed as a hustle, and it is the heavy dollar sign rather than the plain one on a keyboard, which is why it renders in colour. 💱 means exchange and appears in travel and remittance posts. The banknotes themselves are filed under money instead.

Unicode tags this one bank, currency and exchange and files it under Symbols → Currencies.
