Proposed symbols for fictional currencies

Kinda neat :) though I see the HYR being a diamond shape

Not sure what you mean. I considered making the square hexagonal to more closely mimic the in-game rupees but I thought the simpler design with a hexagonal shell felt more like a currency.

Glad you like them though :)

yeah. Diamond shaped mostly because the rupees always looked kinda pointy. alt of things in zelda look pointy..

My first thought for "fictional currency" was "oh, like Bitcoin?"

I've actually had these in my head for a while but Adam Cadre's recent tweet (https://twitter.com/adamcadre/status/322065739764871168) regarding bitcoins was the impetus to get them posted. (Bitcoin has a symbol of course but it's an unexciting B/$ mashup.)

Does the Zorkmid have a symbol itself?

Not that I've found or invented. A zorkmid coin has been minted but (like most currency) it doesn't bear a currency symbol. (Likewise with some excellent rupee banknotes on deviantart.)
