I wonder if Kyekyeku is finding it rather offensive that all we
westerners are claiming to know better than he does what the cedi sign
looks like. He says it is different from a cent sign. Let's stop
speculating that he might be wrong and wait for him to provide evidence
that he is correct.
At http://www.mich.com/~kimsuk/pdf/currency.pdf the Ghana currency is named "new cedi" and its symbol appears as a N with the  appearing in capital letter form with an oblique slash and Kyekyeku described.
This web page also has a slashed capital G for the Paraguayan guarani, another symbol not in Unicode.
It also has the "symbol" for the Israeli New Sheqel as "NIS" and not the *symbol* â, which leads one to wonder as to its authoritative strength. Even if "NIS" is the official symbol (and I'm not saying it is), â is definitely used (and also ×××).
