Not sure how $ looks similar to ΒΆ though.

Yes many users would prefer to see their local currency symbol used on the
'Format as Currency' button, but i doubt that people are going to spend time
creating icons for each locale and in all icon themes.

The dollar sign is quite universal when it comes to money/currency[1] and is
visible in most keyboard layouts with Shift+4. Many currencies use the dollar
sign as or within their currency symbol[2] and the sign is used by 4 out of the
top 10 traded currencies[3].

I think you mean Scrooge McDuck. :D

Most of the icons either contain a bill or a dollar sign, but lets not forget
that we need something that looks good at large (24x24) and small (16x16) icon
sizes.
