[Tex/LaTex] footnote symbol in Beamer

beamerfootnotessymbols

In a Beamer frame how can I make a footnote with symbol (such as †)?
I have tried options from this Symbols instead of numbers as footnote markers
However they don't work for Beamer and I still get text superscript.

Modified to suit the new wish of the OP. Works but ugly, IMHO.

\documentclass{beamer}
\makeatother
\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\ifcase\value{footnote}\or(\$)\or
(\$\$)\or(\$\$\$)\or(\$\$\$\$)\or(\#)\or(\#\#)\or(\#\#\#)\or(\#\#\#\#)\or(\#\#\#\#\#)\fi}
\makeatletter
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
Text\footnote{Text of the footnote}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

Remove the brackets if you just want a $ sign.
