Origins of the dollar sign
================
The dollar sign ($), an S crossed by two vertical bars, comes from the coat of arms set up by the King Ferdinand II of Aragon. The 'S' represents the motto "Non Plus Ultra" and the vertical bars symbolize the two Pillars of Hercules. This symbol (two pillars with S-shaped motto) first appeared in Spaniard 'Pieces of eight', the currency used in the American colonies of the Spanish Empire, which spread to the British colonies and would continue to be used in the United States and Canada.

There are also various other theories for the origin of the dollar sign.
