In regular expressions $ doesn't directly match anything, it's just an 
anchor point that means the end of the line I'm matching.  Usually that 
means a new line, but it doesn't have to.  It all depends on how the 
source of the stuff you are trying to match feeds it to the regular 
expressing engine.

I don't know what $$ means to libreoffice's regular expression engine. 
Probably some like "find an actual $ at the end of a line of text"
