In fortran, the dollar sign has no special meaning (it doesn't
imply pointers or references or elements of a structure or such).
It is just a character that may appear in a name, as long as it is
not the first character of the name.
The author of the snipped of code above chose to name his variables
'n$', 'm$', and so on.
Hoping this helps !
