I hope this is fake. But notice the US stamping? Ayn Rand was confident that the dollar sign came from the convergence of U and S. Interesting to see it like that with the full U and not the _ truncated.

The dollar sign actually comes from a coin from the Holy Roman Empire called the Thaler which bore the inscription of a crucified snake.

I'd always believed that the $ sign came from Peso, they used to abbreviate it as PS and over time it overlapped and morphed into the current symbol.
