To be really wildly creative, you might also use a hammer and a sickle for your sigils.

By the way, in Perl 6, it would take just a couple of code lines to add the pound sign or the euro sign to the list of sigils understood by the Perl 6 grammar and to run a program understanding the £scalar or €scalar variable (see e.g. https://perlgeek.de/en/article/mutable-grammar-for-perl-6)

    I mediated once - approx 5000 posts ago - about introducing sigils like ¤£¥€ into perl 5 (for typed references, ie ¥hash etc ) but it wasn't really practical ... not only are they not part of 7 bit ascii (ie not included in many encodings) but also not available or hard to type on many keyboards around the world.
