your "facts" are more like misinformation.

$ is the combination of U and S- making the US the only country with its name in its currency symbol.
it was used in early government bonds, later the bottom part of the U was cut off, and in the 20th cent ppl combined the lines.

# is a pound sign- it derived from the abbreviation lb for the word libra which means pound in latin and spanish. typesetters used a special character for it â„” which is still available in our computer fonts, then it was simplified for shorthand writing.
