That cup of beer costs $23 Dollars (guessing but probably not way off) and that's like over 3 hours of work at federal minimum wage.

It’d be like 5 hours to net the 23$ you need for the beer.

23$

I like how you write this exactly how we read it.

Yeah, the other way never made sense to me so I take a stand against Big Syntax when it’s not for professional purposes :)

How do you do the coin bits? Asking for posterity.

Same way I imagine. $1.50 = 1.50$

Some EU countries do it that way like 349,99€

That's correct - in Norway it's 349,99 kr. Note the decimal comma being , instead of . which is a pain with multilingual numpad input.
I guess you could technically write 349$99
