Q: Character viewer & Currency Symbols

Yosemite 10.10.3

 

I have been trying to access the shortcuts or whatever for various currencies other than $.  I found this on the internet (I know it is not Apple but it is easier to read than anything I have found in these support circles) http://www.maketecheasier.com/type-euro-sign-mac/.   I was able to navigate to enter a € symbol but am using many different currencies and need to have access to all. 


I have gone to System Preferences > Keyboard and have checked the box for 'Show Keyboard & Characters in Menu Bar'.  I navigated to 'Input Sources' but do not see the option to include the Keyboard & Character Viewer in the list area as it shows on this link.  I do not see mention of it in any other of the support posts so perhaps this is an old feature.  Screen Shot 2015-04-15 at 9.18.51 AM.png

The following Apple support post How to type accents, emoji, and symbols on your Mac - Apple Support  indicates that I should be able to find currencies as a special character.  But when I follow those instructions I don't see that I have options for currencies:

Can someone point me in the right direction?
