Yes, yes, yes !!!It is one more reason, to replace such symbol,
and extend it's meaning.
Which are yet extent.

No, it has, ask any experienced "adverticemist"..

No, I do not want to change languages.By the way I code in pure C, where "$"
uses only in comments and like literal. :)

Slang: "grid", "number".
Musical: it is a sign of positive alteration
(and it is single sign of alteration in modern guitar tabulatures :).

...By the way insteal USA some European countries has a jails without grids

STOP, I DO NOT CARE about "#"
Propose, to replace "the dollar" sign by "the money" sign,
directly in the codeset.
Just change the graphics of the symbol with certain number.

It is simple.
An there is a reasone to do it.
