What are you talking about?  Most programming languages don't make any
special mention of money, so they don't require use of the American dollar
sign character.  Dollar signs usually appear in character strings that the
programmers create, not anything built into the language.  These days, if
you want to make your program international, there are libraries for doing
this, and they include support for monetary symbols.

Can you give examples of what you're trying to fix?
