== Usage ==

This template produces a [[dollar sign]] ($). It is designed to be a workaround for a bug caused by bots running on [[PHP]], as the dollar sign indicates a PHP variable in PHP language. It can also produce symbols for various world currencies and can produce links to the relevant article.

Do not subst: this template, otherwise it won't work.
