You need to edit invoice_latex.  There's a macro called "dollar" around 
line 45 which defines the currency symbol.  I don't know enough about 
latex to suggest what to change it to, but obviously if there's a 
character code for your currency symbol, just replace the 36 in the 
macro definition with that character code.  Otherwise, I'd try replacing 
the whole \symbol{36} with some literal text.
