Every stock has a name. The name is just long enough to indicate all of the stock’s characteristics. For example, Microsoft’s stock is called Microsoft PV $0.025 common stock.
“$” may be confusing, because it has no connection to the value of the stock.
Writing $ in the PV is a convention, however it is merely part of the proper name of the stock, and is used solely for accounting reasons.
