      I’m well aware that there are many different ways to format numbers and currencies - that’s why I asked specifically about those that use the dollar sign.

        Ah, I see. It’s moreso like “people from this location put currency symbols after numbers” not specifically dollar signs. Like, we put currency symbols before the numbers in American English eg “Oh, that’s $12.00” or “Oh, that’s €12.00.” A german, writing in dutch, would write “Oh, das sind 12,00 $” or “Oh, das sind 12,00 €.” Many more countries do this like Poland, the Netherlands I think, etc. It’s pretty common.
