Change currency symbol based on product category in Woocommerce

I am trying to change the default Woocommerce currency symbol based on the product category.

My default WC currency is set to USD and all my products display with '$' prefix before the price. But instead of '$', I would like to show '$$$' only for the products that are in 'clearance' category.

This is my code:

add_filter('woocommerce_currency_symbol', 'change_existing_currency_symbol', 10, 2);

function change_existing_currency_symbol( $currency_symbol, $currency ) {

    global $post, $product, $woocommerce;

    if ( has_term( 'clearance', 'product_cat' ) ) {

        switch( $currency ) {
             case 'USD': $currency_symbol = '$$$'; break;
        }
        return $currency_symbol;
    }       
}

It works, and '$$$' is displayed only for the products within the 'clearance' category, however it removes the '$' from all products in the remaining categories.

I need that if statement to do nothing if the condition is not met.

I've also tried with endif closing tag like this: 

add_filter('woocommerce_currency_symbol', 'change_existing_currency_symbol', 10, 2);

function change_existing_currency_symbol( $currency_symbol, $currency ) {

    global $post, $product, $woocommerce;

    if ( has_term( 'clearance', 'product_cat' ) ) :

        switch( $currency ) {
             case 'USD': $currency_symbol = '$$$'; break;
        }
        return $currency_symbol;

    endif;      
}

but same thing here. It shows '$$$' for all products within 'clearance' category, but removes the '$' for any other product.

What am I doing wrong?

Creating a child theme for the current theme can be the solution but I think you don't have to do that much if you only want to change symbol.

Simply go to the woocommerce back end files ..

wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/wc-core-functions.php

If you don't have back end file excess download file manager in your Wordpress theme you will see these folder in you main site.

wp-content>>plugins>>woocommerce>>includes>>wc-core-functions.php

In wc-core-function.php file you will see the symbol

You need to put return $currency_symbol; outside the if statement this way:

add_filter('woocommerce_currency_symbol', 'change_existing_currency_symbol', 10, 2);
function change_existing_currency_symbol( $currency_symbol, $currency ) {
    global $post, $product;

    if ( has_term( 'clearance', 'product_cat' ) ) {
        switch( $currency ) {
             case 'USD': $currency_symbol = '$$$'; 
             break;
        }
    }
    return $currency_symbol; // <== HERE
}

Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or active theme).

Now it should work.
