Note that many currencies are abbreviated with the $ sign, including the Mexican Peso. Something sold in the US for $1 may be sold in Canada for $1.40 and in México for $20, and all three are roughly the same price.
EDIT: before searching, I had thought that the shorthand for a Brazilian Currency had changed to Cz for Cruizeros and more recently to just R for the Real. Turns out I was wrong, they all were represented as "$", though I'm using the wrong dollar sign, as a Real has TWO vertical strokes instead of one. "R$" is only used in international transactions. In Brazil, it's simply the double-strokes dollar sign.
3 Reais ("hey-ICESH") are worth about a US dollar.
The value of the Real is far more stable than the value of the Cruziero was.
