The dollar sign $ is of USA. It is also used where the local dollar (not the US dollar) is the currency such as in Australia.
As for the other symbol ( I am unable to get it from my computer ), it represents the British currency Pound Sterling. That symbol is the short form of 'Libra' which denoted the Roman pound.

This symbol is the sign for the currency known as the pound. It is used in England [pound sterling] and was once used in Australia until replaced by the $ when decimal currency was introduced. I believe that the symbol stands for libra which is an ancient measure of weight and is a zodiac sign featuring a set of balance scales.

This is the symbol for the Irish pound. In January 2002 the Irish pound was replaced by the EURO (€).
