With $ it works because in the majority of cases the context helps, for example in America they know it means USD, when I deal with people here in UK/Europe I know it means USD because of who they are, if I talked to an Australian I would know it means AUD (but would probably check with them). However with Bitcoin, practically 0% of situations would be "that must mean bitcoins, not USD/other".

When you're in the same article talking about AUDs and USDs, you'd go "A$1000"

e.g.: "Exim Bank to Raise at Least A$100 Million via Bonds" http://blogs.wsj.com/dealjournalindia/2013/03/26/exim-bank-t...

Perhaps with Bitcoin: BC฿50
