What is the meaning of all the dollar signs? Not familiar with those in PGN.

I’ve never seen it either but maybe this is what it is:

I'm not sure, I just copied what chess.com gave me.

It looks like Lemmy might've messed up the formatting of the PGN, but I tried copying and pasting it into Lichess' board editor and it still worked ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
