The symbol $, usually written before the numerical amount, is used for the U.S. dollar. The sign was the result of a late 18th-century evolution of the scribal abbreviation "ps" for the peso.
Another popular explanation is that it comes from the Pillars of Hercules on the Spanish Coat of arms on the Spanish. These Pillars of Hercules on the silver Spanish dollar coins take the form of two vertical bars and a swinging cloth band in the shape of an "S".
Yet another fictional explanation suggests that the dollar sign was formed from the capital letters U and S written or printed one on top of the other.
