Dollar Sign$

The dollar sign started as a U on top of an S, as shorthand for "United States." Over time, the bottom of the U disappeared, leaving the S with two lines through it. Eventually, to what it is today, due to computer graphic fonts. We read left to right, thus the symbol indicates the number to follow is currency.*



* - Nerdism. It's a curse.
