Re: The use of DOLLARS not a fantasy/medieval money system. WHY???
Since here in Brazil we use $ too, my thoughts are the same. U$ = dollar. R$ = Real. $ = unspecific coin.

But in the United States, we just put "$" and read it as "dollar." And since GURPS is published in the United States and its units of measurement are consistently American-centric, I read $ as "dollar" in GURPS books, unless I make a conscious effort not to. Of course, it's a GURPS dollar anyway, not a real world monetary unit. It just happens to be named after a real world monetary unit.

Google uses USD, CAD, and AUD (based on the country code, and D for Dollar).

FWIW I think those codes are older than Google.
