You can use a character class to define one of several characters, as well they dont need to be escaped.

'€ and £'.replace(/[£€]/g, '$'); //=> '$ and $'

Use the OR operator to combine the pound and euro symbols (of which you do not need to escape). The resulting regex would be:

/€|£/g

use this replace(/[\€\£]/g,'$') You can mention 2 or more characters in square brackets to match them individually.
