Depending on your language, but something like
^[\$€£¥].*[]is a character group matching one of the characters inside.You might have to write
\$because the$-sign has sometimes special meaning in regexps..*matches “everything else” (except a newline).Edit: After re-reading your question: If you really want to match some currency symbols (maybe more than one), try
^[\$€£¥]+.*
