My vote is still for ฿ 
Bitcoins are worth more than the Thai baht! 
Considering how many people use $, we certainly deserve to be able to use ฿.

There are ways for programmers and scholarly organizations to make use of Unicode character encoding, even if the script they want to use or transmit is not yet (or may never be) part of the Unicode Standard. Individual groups that make use of rare scripts or special characters can reach a private agreement about interchange and set aside part of the Private Use Area to encode their private set of characters. Individuals with interests in rare scripts or materials relating to them may sometimes be contacted through an electronic mail list which the Consortium maintains. For information about these mail lists, please contact the Unicode office.

A B with two lines through it without the circle may be a bit confusing or too similar to the Thai currency considering the US$ symbol is sometimes used with one or two lines. So additionally a circle around it like the icon used with the client and also the favicon used at this site seems like a good idea.
Maybe a circled B, kind of like the favicon here?

฿ doesn't seem to be worthy considering it already is well established as Thai baht (currency).

Thats a great idea! Anyone can think of a image representing independence?
The omega would be interesting, but maybe that's just cause I remember it from an old game... Was it Populous?
Perhaps we can come up with something representing the digital nature of the currency; perhaps a play on the word "bit" or something similar.

What's wrong with BTC or BTC$?
Still, no harm in it I guess. Any idea on a cool character? Perhaps the omega character?
