Insert Dollar Sign

Questions & Suggestions
1

I'm trying to insert some text that includes a dollar sign. When I do, it inserts the number four. I'm assuming I need to escape the dollar sign or use a token but I can't find what I need to do that. I'm sure its a simple thing I'm missing. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great!
Thank you,

Thanks for getting back to me. It was a "Insert Text by Typing" macro and the app I was inserting into was QuickBooks Desktop 2018 and I believe that is the issue. I'm running High Sierra, 10.13.6.

When I run the macro in another app (Scrivner) it works fine. I'm not surprised QuickBooks was the issue. I think with enough guidance, pre-schoolers could have written a better app than the developers who wrote QuickBooks. I realize that's not very nice for me to say but I do believe it's accurate.

Thanks for your help JMichaelTX!
