Actually, while it's quite probable that the sign won't be used by any other
currency, I believe there would be no way to prevent that. Cf. the usage of

Why does one require implementation laws to define a code point in Unicode for
a new currency symbol? And what does it have to do with ISCII or keyboard
layouts or usage or non-usage by people within India or abroad?
One cannot make too many assumptions regarding usage. For example,
