LOL at their research. Ksh is not even metioned (or only show in "plural"?).

Also, what's so bad about K$? damn you guys. my country uses two letters before the $ and it's fine.

What's next, going to push a new character set standard?

Perhaps the fact that it's a shilling, not a dollar?

[jimktrains2]

Actually, we get $ from the Peso symbol

What exactly is the difference between a "shilling" and a "dollar"?

[mseebach]

Roughly the same as the difference between "William" and "Jacob".

[gcb0]

that's silly. $ does not stand for dollar.

US$ and more recently USD$ stands for dollar.

[icebraining]

No. US$ stands for "US dollar". There are more dollar currencies besides the USD.

United States Dollar Dollar?
