MachinMachinMan Pillar of the Community Australia 1985 Posts	Posted 02/21/2026 11:56 pm Although "$" is often called the "dollar sign" it is used for many other currencies. Post your coins that have "$" on them but the denomination is not in dollars. I'll start with this 1992 Malaysia 1 ringgit Report this Post to the Staff

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17878 Posts	Posted 02/22/2026 05:06 am The $ sign is said (by some) to originate from the scrolls around the pillars that were a feature of some designs of the Spanish and Spanish Colonial 8-Real coins that circulated as dollars. Here's an 1813 Spanish half-real showing the 'dollar' sign! My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff
