\text{\textdollar}

The command \text{\textdollar} is used in LaTeX to produce the dollar sign ($) within text mode. This is particularly useful when you want to include a dollar sign in a document without switching to math mode, ensuring that the symbol is treated as regular text rather than a mathematical operator.

Examples

The price is \text{\textdollar}20.
