Wow. I find that unusual in my 10 years of computer use/programming ... I have always referred to $ and heard it referred to as "string".
Not that it matters but I find that definitely unusual :)
I've been to a number of conferences as well and never heard anyone refer to $anything as anything other than 'dollar anything'.
