Arnold, et al,

I do not claim to be a legal expert, but I *have* seen actors portraying
them on television ;^}!

I cannot imagine any law that controls the number of vertical lines in the
US dollar sign. I have seen US government publications with one vertical
line and other US government publications with two vertical lines. I
believe this is nothing but a font/glyph/presentation issue.

Thanks,
    Jim
