Trying to chmod some stuff, and I need the '$' in a user field

in normal I press Alt Gr+4, but that doesnt work in the terminal

Preciate some help and thanks in advance

By default all droplets are configured for an EN-US keyboard layout. On this type of keyboard Shift+4 will make a $. You can reconfigure your keyboard (on debian and ubuntu) with the command dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration in order to set your keyboard locale correctly.
