To restate Peter's statement, DON'T DO IT!
The $ (and others - but never you mind what they are) are intended for use by code generation programs so that no token names will clash with human-written code.
If YOU use the $variable, then you can clash with them.
(Plus it's ugly and looks like a scripting language with a weak parser that can't tell when something is supposed to be... what?... so it needs a special character to say "variable" - my own personal opinion.)
