neutral  Giovanni Rengifo: I think the "$" sign isn't necessary if you mention the currency. What do you think? | That's interesting I've always seen it and placed it before the number. I think in Europe sometimes they place the euro sign after the amount - not sure, though.

  -> Hi, Giovanni. I think I placed the (USD$) after the numbers, because that's the way I always state my price for any client who contacts me, because that's what they almost always use in their request.
disagree  philgoddard: The currency goes before the number, and you've effectively said "US dollars dollars".
15 hrs
  -> Your "disagree" is bogus, as well as your total lack of "agrees' on many of my answers, which isn't helpful to askers at all. Anyway, "USD$" is a group of representative symbols, used as an acronym, and is almost never "said"/spelled out in words.
disagree  Remy van Tol: I'm sorry, but I have never seen USD$ in English. It's US$ or USD. Edit: if you search in Google on "USD$", the vast majority of results is in Spanish. That should tell you enough.
21 hrs
  -> Oh, but I have./I'm afraid it doesn't, since google results, esp. because of what millions of us now know about that company and their practices, aren't necessarily all that valid or reliable.
neutral  AllegroTrans: It's US$ or USD but not USD$, the above comments are perfectly correct.

Explanation:
Please note that the international currency denomination for US dollars is "USD".
Besides I believe there should be no space between the denomination and the amount. And the source says "tuvo", so you should change "has" to "had".
You may want to use "our company" if they're talking about their own company.
