🤑 Ever wondered where the famous $ sign actually came from?
It's not from "US" (S over U) like many think—that myth was even in Ayn Rand's books! 😅
The real story: It most likely evolved from the Spanish "ps" abbreviation for pesos (the mighty Spanish dollar that ruled trade in the Americas). Over time, fast handwriting turned the "p" into a loop that crossed the "S" — and boom, the $ was born! 🇪🇸💰
Some say it's linked to the Pillars of Hercules on old Spanish coins too. Either way, this little symbol became the ultimate icon of money, success, capitalism… and sometimes greed in movies & cartoons! 🏦✨
