I'm an American. I read "$" as "dollars" whether or not there's an explicit statement to tell me to do so, just as I read "6'6"" as "six feet six." Or for that matter, just as I read "17" as "seventeen" and not as "dix-sept" or "jushichi."
On the other hand, in my current fantasy campaign (which isn't dungeon fantasy, though!), I told the players at the first session that no one had invented coinage, and that "$1000" stood for a pound of silver weighed in a balance.
