Sometimes I really wonder if the buddies K&R when designing C actually looked at the keyboard and tried to assign a meaning to each special character they found there. Obviously, they seem to have missed "$". Probably this one was either too BASIC or too "establishment".
Perhaps the "$" was used for other purposes on their machines, or they found it inavailabe on other (non-U.S.) keyboards or character sets. Even Wirth introduced digraphs for not commonly available keys, like "(*" for "{", or "(." for "[".
