Using '$' as Copy in Velocity Script

[nhabischWings]

Basic question here, but have a Velocity script where the output copy uses '$' to designate dollars. Is there anything special to do so this doesn't break anything?

I've tested and it seems to work, but I know in Velocity that designates a variable so want to ensure it is just straight text and doesn't potentially do anything weird if my copy is like "Payment Per $1,000" and in the script it considers "$1,000" to be a variable.

Well, you can use the EscapeTool to print the $ in email. You can print the dollar in velocity by:

${esc.d}
