Money Kaomoji — 200+ Money Lenny Face to Copy
200 money kaomoji. Dollar signs where the eyes go.
Money kaomoji put a currency symbol where the eyes belong. ($_$) is the base form, and the substitution reads instantly as greed or excitement about money — the same mechanism as heart eyes, applied to a different subject.
How to copy and type them
Tap to copy. The eye swap works with any currency: (£_£), (€_€) and (¥_¥) all read the same way, which is useful if you are writing for a non-dollar audience.
($_$) is five ASCII characters and can be typed directly without copying.
Where they work
These render in WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, Discord, Telegram and game chats. Currency symbols are universally supported, including £, € and ¥.
The fullwidth ＄ used in some versions is also safe, though it takes more visual space than the ASCII form.
Which one to use
Use money faces for jokes about cost, payday, or wanting something expensive. They read as comic rather than sincere, which makes them unsuitable for anything about actual financial difficulty.
For greedy scheming see mischievous kaomoji, for celebration celebration kaomoji, and for the Lenny base lenny faces.
Can I use a currency other than the dollar?
Yes, and it often reads better. (£_£) and (€_€) work identically, and for an audience that does not use dollars they land more naturally. The character swap is the whole face, so any currency symbol works.
Do these work in a display name?
($_$) does — five ASCII characters, accepted almost everywhere symbols are allowed. The fullwidth ＄ versions are wider and may not fit shorter limits. Currency symbols are among the most reliably accepted characters in name fields.
Is there a text face for being broke?
(╥﹏╥) or (・_・;) with a money reference in the message does the job — there is no dedicated character for it. The dollar-eye faces read as wanting money, which covers the same territory from the other direction.
Is there a face for expensive rather than greedy?
Not directly, but pairing a shocked face with a currency symbol does it — (⊙_⊙)＄ reads as sticker shock. The dollar-eye faces read as wanting money, which is a different feeling from being alarmed by a price.
