Django form values ​​without HTML escape

Question

I need to set Django forms.ChoiceField to display currency symbols. Since django forms remove all HTML ASCII characters, I cannot get & # 36; ( & euro; ) or pound; ( & lb; ) to display the currency symbol.

<select id="id_currency" name="currency">
    <option value="&amp;#36;">&#36;</option>
    <option value="&amp;pound;">&pound;</option>
    <option value="&amp;euro;">&euro;</option>
</select>

Could you suggest any methods for displaying the actual HTML currency symbol, at least for part of the parameter value?

<select name="currency" id="id_currency">
    <option value="&amp;#36;">$</option>
    <option value="&amp;pound;">£</option>
    <option value="&amp;euro;">€</option>
</select>

Update: Please note that I am using Django 0.96 since my application runs on Google App Engine.
And above <SELECT> is displayed using Django Forms.

currencies = (('$', '$'), 
              ('£', '£'), 
              ('€', '€'))    
currency = forms.ChoiceField(choices=currencies, required=False)

Thanks,
Arun.
