because if you just had the number (eg. 4) it would just be a number, and we cant be sure of what its referring to, but when you put the dollar sign in front it tells us that it is a money value (eg. $4), so we know the number is referring to an australian currency amount. hope this helped :) and if you dont mind me asking what was this for? :)
