US$
Greenback, in brief
US$ is a symbol for United States dollars, typically appearing before a number: US$50, US$1.2 million.
The notation distinguishes American currency from other dollar-denominated currencies like Canadian or Australian dollars.
In American contexts, the plain dollar sign ($) suffices, but US$ appears in international documents where ambiguity might arise.
