I would campaign for fifteen dollars to be written as 15$. The other way around makes no sense. Dollars is the unit, and you say "fifteen dollars" and not "dollars fifteen". That we landed on the backwards convention is a travesty.

Super regional, remember learning 15$ in French class but using $15 everywhere else because I'm an anglophone. Personally, as someone else said, it's a unit, totally makes sense treating it as such and I do tend to use iso currency codes when talking dollars because I'm Canadian, 40 USD is 54.75 CAD, 40 CAD is 29.23 USD, if I don't specify that it makes things look way more expensive comparatively.
