@leoj3n in JavaScript (unlike PHP) the $ sign is an ordinary symbol when used in a variable name, just like a letter or an underscore. It doesn’t change anything as far as the interpreter is concerned. For programmers, it can be a useful way to identify variables that hold jQuery objects, like @brombomb mentioned.
