Why the Dollar Sign Has an “S” 🤑

Why does the dollar sign ($) have an “S” with a line through it?
It’s a symbol we see every day — but almost no one knows where it really came from.

The most accepted theory traces it back to the Spanish peso, once written as “Ps.”
Over time, people started writing the “P” over the “S”… and eventually, the top part faded.

What remained?
An “S” with a line — the $ sign we still use today.

💵 One of the world’s most powerful symbols... born from a shortcut.
