Does C-h l view-lossage show something useful after an attempt to perform spellcheck? Is there anything in the *Message* buffer?
I could not suggest something in the case of wayland session, but if it is X11 then attempt to acquire key grab should fail if another application already set this shortcut. So you could try if e.g. xbindkeys would report a conflict if such keystroke is added to its config. I have never used it, but there is an interesting feature XF86LogGrabInfo: https://askubuntu.com/questions/406543/unable-to-set-a-shortcut-to-grab-screenshot-area Due to global shortcut emacs should lose focus for a moment and it should be noticeable. I would also check if xev reports expected key symbol. Just to be sure that $ is in its usual place yet.
