Should they both be "sign" or both be "symbol", for the sake of consistency?

If one of them needs to be changed, I'd say yen_symbol -> yen_sign. The latter's more common than the former according to Google, while "dollar symbol" is an order of magnitude less common than "dollar sign". I don't really think it's that important, though.
Regarding similar currency signs:
There seems to be (only!) one tagged occasion of pound_sign. The same image features an untagged euro sign, too.
