Understand the reluctance, but frankly the generic "bank note"
taxes-finances.svg is even less readable than the old "piles of coins". 

Guess we could define an icon for "every" ISO 4217:2015 locale/currency--but
doing it once per build at compile time with the ICU libraries, if possible,
seems more maintainable.

Maybe adding a full set of appropriate glyphs (to match the ICU mappings to
Currency code/number) for the currency symbols to OpenSymbol would provide a
common graphic to style against--and would allow us to localize the button.
Also for locales without single graphical currency symbol, to pre-compose the
preferred currency symbol and use as PUA addressed Unicode.
