How are the currency signs pronounced?

How are the currency signs pronounced? The lesson does not spell out these words and it is very difficult for beginners to make out the words by listening to the recordings. It would be very help if the lesson spell out the currency signs as to how they are pronounced even though these words are not required in this lesson.

Hi Michael, 

I have listened to the recordings and the currency signs are pronounced -

dollar $, euro €, livre £

in the relevant examples.

Do you mean they should be written out?

Yes. i think they should be, as well as virgule.  Some of us don't live in Europe.
