A little detail. Shoulnd't it be:
<abbr class="currency" title="Canadian dollar">C$</abbr>
?
CAD being itself an abbreviation.
BTW, I think in this context "currency" as a class name makes sense.
I proposed earlier having a "currencyamount" class name that would
contain a value (expressed as text or numerical) and and optionally a
currency (optional b/c if we imagine a table of 1000s or rows containing
currency amounts, we may not want to have the currency symbol/code next
to each entry, but only in the <th>).
<span class="currencyamount">100<abbr class="currency"
title="Euro">€</abbr></span>.

Looks like there are many others:
There are various common abbreviations to distinguish the Canadian
dollar from others: while the ISO <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interna
tional_Organization_for_Standardization> currency code <http://en.wikip
edia.org/wiki/ISO_4217> *CAD* (a three-character code without monetary
symbols <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency_sign>) is common, no
single system is universally accepted. *C$* is recommended by the
Canadian government (e.g., per /The Canadian Style/ guide) and is used
by the International Monetary Fund <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intern
ational_Monetary_Fund>, while /Editing Canadian English/ indicates
*Can$* and *CDN$*; both guides note the ISO scheme/code. The
abbreviation *CA$* is also used, e.g., in some software packages.
Any of which can be marked up thus:
<abbr class="currency" title-"CAD">C$</abbr> [1]
since any of them is a "symbol" representing CAD.
[1] or whatever "class" we eventually decide on.
