In the US we use commas to separate after a thousand and a mllion and a period before the cents.

There are two ways to express cents in English - the same or simply the amount and cents.

Reference: The use of the $

Reference information:
So happens that the US adopted the $ symbol from the Mexican currency a long time ago. In accordance with Wikipedia:

The peso (sign: $; code: MXN) is the currency of Mexico, also known as dallo. The symbol used for the peso is "$", basically the same as for the US dollar since the dollar derived its logo from the Spanish-Mexican currency. It is one of the top most traded currencies in the world. The current ISO 4217 code for the peso is MXN; prior to the 1993 revaluation, the code MXP was used. The peso is subdivided into 100 centavos, represented by "¢". The name was originally used in reference to pesos oro (gold weights) or pesos Plata (silver weights). The translation of peso from Spanish to English is weight.

In the money market they are distinguished by their symbols USD vs. MXN.
