How it works
A money sign bubble letter is a fat S with a nub above and a nub below: the stroke through the middle vanishes when the S puffs up. The set opens in Fredoka, which keeps both bends open.

The S in six fonts
Fredoka stands upright and even. Chango is the widest and Chewy the slimmest. Lilita One is thick, with short notches for bends. Bagel Fat One is the roundest, its bends thin lines. Mochiy Pop One squares off both nubs and gives the S corners.
Where the stroke shows
Set Look to Outline or Hollow and Lilita One and Mochiy Pop One run the stroke through the middle of the S, with a small gap on each side. The other four still show the two nubs only.
- $1 Each, $5 Off and 2 for $1 are tags for a sale table or a pretend store.
- The comma in $1,000 prints as a fat drop that hangs below the line.
Questions and answers
How do you draw a dollar sign bubble letter?
Pencil a capital S and one upright line through it that pokes out above and below. Draw a rounded outline round the S and round both ends of the line, then rub out the pencil. The four steps are on page two.
Is the money sign the same as the dollar sign?
On this page, yes. The sign printed here is the dollar sign: a capital S crossed by one or two upright strokes, also called the peso sign.
Does the dollar sign go before or after the number?
Before it, in most English-speaking countries that use the sign: $1 is read as one dollar. Every ready price here is written that way.
Can I print a price in bubble letters?
Yes. After your first print, Prices to print holds $1, $5, $10, $20, $25, $50, $100 and $1,000. Or type your own, ten characters or fewer, so the drawing steps show it whole.
