At first glance, the dollar sign may seem unnecessary, but it's critical.
To enter a value in currency format, type a dollar sign before the value.
However, you do need the dollar sign, as in $ MYVARIABLE, whenever you use the variable.
And the dollar sign ( $ ) matches the end of the string.
In other contexts the dollar sign can be part of an identifier or a dollar-quoted string constant.
