    it doesn’t mean anything. as you can create tables with dollar signs in if you want (probably not recommended as people may get confused thinking they are oracle special tables).

    if you’re referring to objects owned by SYS and SYSTEM then Oracle names its memory structure views for example V$ (eg v$session). but these are just a naming convention that Oracle corp uses for its objects.
