The $ has no special meaning in Fortran.  It may have had meaning for
the programmer that used it (it could have meant something like all
variables ending in $ are "input" variables or all variables ending in $
are "system" or "constant" variables).  In my experience, a dollar sign
is used most often to define "system" variables or functions.  Some
library vendors prefix variable names (instead of suffixing) with $ to
indicate a "system" constant.  I don't see any clear purpose in your
example.  If they are all local variables/constants (even if not) and
you don't like the $, you could probably just string change to another
character (being careful to avoid naming conflicts).
