The Canadian firm that's one of my clients uses "U.S.$" as the abbreviation. I've never seen "U$" before.
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.
