That itself was an allusion to the story of Moses winding a bronze snake around a pole in order to cure people who’d been bitten. The dollar, so it’s said, derived from that sign. https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20190528-the-curious-origin-of-the-symbol The dollar sign’s origins are not completely clear. It has been connected to an old Bohemian currency called the thaler, after which the dollar is meant to be named . On the reverse side of the thaler coin was a symbol of a serpent on a cross, an image based on a biblical story in which Moses put a snake through a pole in order to cure any who laid eyes on it . It has therefore been claimed that the dollar sign might represent the biblical story of the serpent. The dollar symbol could also be based on the alchemy symbol of an S on top of the letter T This was also used as a symbol of the “brazen serpent’ of the bible and represented health to alchemists https://itaint-necessarilyso.squarespace.com/articles/2015/4/21/the-dollar-sign
