Actually, put it back, as it made it sound as if the $ pattern was "adapted from...", which it wasn't. Johnbod (talk) 19:09, 3 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Dollar rather than S pattern?

edit

Why on earth is it described as a dollar sign when it looks far more like a S? the pattern doesn't have the line through it like a dollar sign, and is far closed to an S. Is it really called a dollar sign in the international literature? Stronach (talk) 13:39, 21 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Some look more like $ than others. Yes it certainly is called that - try the refs or google. It might be partly a dealers joke on the prices they fetch. Johnbod (talk) 16:51, 21 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
