"$" is the representative symbol of the dollar symbol. The origin of "$" can be traced back to the beginning of16th century, when Spain minted a silver dollar called "peso". This silver dollar pattern has a crown and a royal badge (lion and castle) on one side and two pillars on the other. According to western mythology, they are the pillars of Hercules, representing the peaks on both sides of the Gibraltar Strait.

There are many theories about the origin of this dollar symbol, two of which are more common. One view is that this symbol is formed by putting a narrow U on a wide S, so it represents the American dollar symbol.

Another way of saying it is that it is the evolution of PS superposition writing. PS is the abbreviation of peso, which is a round coin from 18 to 19 century in the United States. This kind of coin has been used all over the country since 1974 was formally established as a mint in the United States. Later, the American government recognized the symbol $ as the unit of the new currency, that is, one dollar.
