Every money emoji and what it means
💰 (money bag) is the general-purpose one: wealth, payday, a bonus, “it’s about the money”. 💵 (dollar banknote) is literal cash, with 💴 💶 💷 for yen, euro and pound. 💸 (money with wings) is money leaving: spending, losses, “there goes my paycheck”. 🤑 (money-mouth face) is greed or delight at getting paid. 💳 is a card, 🪙 (Emoji 13.0) a coin, 💲 the dollar sign and 🏦 the bank.
