For someone who used to program in BBC BASIC (on the Acorn BBC Micro), this
would be like going back in time. '$' used to represent a string, though,
so to this day I call '$' 'string' rather than 'dollar'.

Perhaps I should start using '$' as a prefix for strings. That would confuse
other developers :)
