It's not a bug---that's a feature! :p
>From the javadoc: "If this character ['$'] is placed before a variable
reference, this reference is ignored and won't be replaced." So even when
you use three dollar signs, you still have a variable reference
("${amount}") with the escape character placed before it, thus the variable
reference will not be replaced.
To achieve your desired effect, I think you either have to put the dollar
sign in the mapping (e.g., "values.put("amount", "$20.00"), use different
delimiters, or just set a different escape character.
