\$ confuses WhatTheGrep probably because $ is a grep symbol. Other escaped grep symbols, too, probably confuse it. You could try \^ and and see what happens.

Until CC, the $ symbol was problematic in another way as well. InDesign had problems finding more than one instance (on Windows anyway). In CS6 and earlier, using \x24 or [$] is a workaround.
