Lepton pl. Lepta (Λεπτόν pl. Λεπτά) is the name of various fractional units of currency used in the Greek-speaking world from Antiquity until today.
The word means "small" or "thin", and during classical and hellenistic times a lepton was always a small value coin, usually the smallest available denomination of another currency.

A sign value is the worth a sign has compred to other signs; it is whatever meaning a sign has plus that which it takes on when it is associated with another sign.
Sign components are used to try to create the most "value-ful" sign, the most efficient (in terms of bang for the semiotic buck, which is reader attention) communication.
And once these signs (Just Do It) become firmly ingrained in our consciousness, they themselves are their own meaning systems to be re-used, turning ads into currency themselves.

The term currency sign in COBOL refers to the default character "$" used as a currency symbol (definition 4.52) in a picture-character-string and as the default currency string (definition 4.51) that appears in the edited format of monetary data items.
As an example, the currency strings "kr" and "SEK" can be represented in picture-character-strings by currency symbols "m" and "t" (for example), respectively, by defining them in a CURRENCY SIGN clause.
While not ideal, the historical terminology currency sign and default "$" are retained for compatibility with the previous edition of the COBOL standard.
