For such a crazy ISP, the best symbol for it should just be:
U+0024 '$' DOLLAR SYMBOL, or even better:
U+FF04 '$' FULLWIDTH DOLLAR SYMBOL, if not just:
U+FF69 'L' SMALL DOLLAR SYMBOL

Or may be (who knows?):
U+00A3 'Â' POUND SYMBOL
U+00A4 'Â' CURRENCY SYMBOL
U+00A5 'Â' YEN SYMBOL

And why not:
U+20A9 'â' WON SYMBOL (broken web...)
U+20A5 'â' MILLIME SYMBOL (broken mail...)
U+20AB 'â' DONG SYMBOL (broken data...)
U+20A6 'â' NAIRA SYMBOL (you have NO mail waiting...)
