### Rationale:
`$` is special in double quotes, but there are some cases where it's interpreted literally:
1. Following a backslash: `echo "\$"`
2. In a context where the shell can't make sense of it, such as at the end of the string, (`"foo$"`) or before some constructs (`"$'foo'"`).
To avoid relying on strange and shell specific behavior, any `$` intended to be literal should be escaped with a backslash.
### Problematic sample code:
echo "$"
### Correct sample code:
echo "\$"
