failure to parse key/value strings containing $ character

[combinadic]

Greetings.
When trying to parse <script type = text/javascript>...</script> that contains the $ character JSON.parse() produces the following output:

JSON.parse("""{
"this": ["is", "json"],
"numbers": [85, 16, 12.0],
"and": [true, false, null],
"but not": ["1", 2,"$3.00"]}""")
ERROR: syntax: invalid interpolation syntax: "$3"
Stacktrace:
[1] top-level scope at none:1

However, removing the "$" from the last key/value pair produces the expected result.
Have I overlooked something in the JSON.parse() syntax?
Short of replace(ing)() the "$" with something like "AUD" character in pre-processing, is there some other workaround?
Thank you.

Writing a $ in a string literal is Julia syntax for interpolating something into the string (see https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/strings/#string-interpolation). You can see that you get the error, even if you remove the JSON.parse part. The solution is to either escape the $ (via \$) or use a raw string (via raw"""... $3.00...""").
