title: Unable to match currency symbols using python regex
body: <pre><code>l_test_word = 'in €'
  print(l_test_word)
  
  if re.match(pattern=r'[£$€]+', string=l_test_word):
  
      print("Match")
  else:
  
      print("No Match")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am trying to match if a string contains curency symbols.
  The code snippet above when runs returning "No Match".
  Unable to figure out why? I am using python 2.7.13. 
  Thanks.</p>
