what sign do we use instead of $

The sign $ is used when talking of "dollar" in Haiti.
But the currency unit in Haiti is "goud"
Generally, 1 dollar used to be equal to 5 goud in Haiti. But with the rate of inflation, that has changed.

When making purchases in Haiti prices are given to you in Goud.The "goud" is also called "pyas"
So, if the Sodacosts 20 gourdes, it means that it costs $4 (minus inflation).
