Palau only issues collector coins, but they always put the dollar sign at the end.

Given that the country uses the US dollar, they should know better.

I find it much more amazing that Republicans from Palau think that male nipples are at armpit level, while female nipples are at elbow level.

Ah, the anatomy of a mermaid is complex. But they basically know what belongs where.

Cuba also did it that way ("1$"), at least one time back when they used the Convertible Peso. Oddly enough, the description on that page gets the order wrong.

After the design had been in use on the obverse of the coins of Palau for 15 years, since this year the mermaid is being censored. A sign of the times, although admittedly it does look more professional and official this way.

Cuba, 1 convertible peso, 1994. 

Isn't the peso sign supposed to come first?

If you look at the flood of Cuban commemorative 1 peso coins, they usually say "1 peso". In fact, pretty much every recent coin or banknote issued by Cuba avoids the $ symbol. As for that "convertible" series, the dollar sign after the digit is at least in line with the centavo coins ("50ȼ" etc.).

On that particular Cuban coin, it is a peso sign and not a dollar sign. In fact, the USA stole the peso sign and used it for their dollars. Why didn't they use a D with two strokes through it, I wonder?

On that particular Cuban coin, it is a peso sign and not a dollar sign.

Sure, that is why I wrote "1 peso" in the first sentence. But both the peso and the centavo sign are the same symbols that are used in the US (although on American money I have not seen the ȼ, and the $ is something fairly recent). Why does the $ not come first on those Cuban coins? Maybe simply because the US does it the other way round, hehe.
