Sign of Possible Transmission Failure

I’ll give you $8000.00, but it’ll have to be in Canadian $. Ah, never mind!

After a few years of being a general forum related to Mavericks in general, the new MTC could well be your latest online used car dealership specializing in gently used, low mileage vehicles with innocuous issues at discount prices... Most major currencies accepted...

That's 176,680 pesos. Don't put the dollar ($) amount down and you might pull it off.

... What? MXN uses the same sign $ as USD, and in fact the Mexican peso has used it for longer than the USD...
Also it's just a silly joke lol.

Yes and no.
True, the same currency symbol ($) is used, but the US Dollar predates the Peso.

The dollar was first introduced as the official currency as a coin in 1792.
The first United States paper dollar was printed in 1862 as part of the Legal Tender Notes issued by the federal government, and even that predates the Mexican peso which was formally and officially introduced in 1863, replacing the Spanish colonial real.

The Peso was a year late and is currently short of a dollar by about 95 cents.

Perhaps your confusion comes from the use of the Spanish Real, which was used throughout the American continents, (as well as in parts of Asia) and was a basis for both the US dollar and Mexican Peso which replaced the Real in both cases.
