I'm running a macbook pro on English language, with a danish keyboard (Microsoft Ergonomic 400) - for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get the dollar sign out of it.
I'm used to press AltGr+4 to get it. Now it just gives me the £ sign.

Mac doesn't have an AltGr key, btw, & I'm not certain how it would read one pressed on a Win keyboard.– TetsujinCommented Sep 14, 2015 at 7:47

MS keyboards are not printed according the Apple Danish layout. Both the topmost leftmost key and alt shift 3 should give you $, assuming you have your OS X set the Danish input source.– Tom GeweckeCommented Sep 14, 2015 at 10:19

It seems the layout may have been modified.
Try using AltGr+Shift+3.
You can also check what key combinations produce what characters by enabling the On-Screen-Keyboard :
- Open System Preferences and go to “Keyboard”, and look under the “Keyboard” tab
- Check the box next to “Show Keyboard & Character Viewers in menu bar”
- Enable the virtual keyboard input in Mac OS X
- Pull down the newly visible Keyboard menu and choose “Show Keyboard Viewer”

Thanks, this one works - I didn't try the combo of altgr+shift, and rest of my programming needs seem to come from that combo for now.– tommicaCommented Sep 14, 2015 at 10:38

1Just curious, do you not also get $ with the topmost leftmost key (or if not that, the key to the left of the z)? Commented Sep 14, 2015 at 11:05

Damn, apparently the one left of z also gives $, the one left of 1 gives <– tommicaCommented Sep 15, 2015 at 13:15
Have you tried top-left key (the one left of 1 and under the ESC) - there is where $ sign in danish Mac keymap should be.
