The dollar sign is to tell the reader that the number that follows in a monetary number. It is a writing convention that people use to separate pure numbers from numbers that are dollars and cents.
It is not a consistent convention in that we write $10 and read it as ten dollars instead of dollars ten, but we write 10¢ and read it as it is written ten cents.
Consistent or not, it is a convention that is followed here in the United States anyway.
