You have 15$. How would you spend it so that you'll be the happiest you can be for 15$ ? (lemm.ee)

And yes you have to spend it all

Edit: There are a lot of little good things in these answers that I often ignore. Thanks everyone.

I'd spend it teaching people how to use a dollar sign

Putting it behind the number makes way more sense though, because you don't read it as "dollar 15"

So I petition to make it okay to write "15$"

I'd buy you a $15 book on critical thinking, so you could stop and consider that maybe not everyone is a native English speaker, and their syntax may vary.

Otherwise, you're just making assumptions based on what someone has written. You know, like how many people might assume from your reply that you're a massive dickhead. Just an assumption of course...

That's great but it's still wrong.
