All rught, not just dollar sign. Try to create directory named $HOME

Hotlist and quick cd command recognize environment variables (like $HOME) in path. Unfotunately, it is not documented. This behaviour exists for years and I wouldn't change it.

Replying to basinilya:
Then how to escape '$' ? \$ and %24 don't work
This is a bug. \$ should work but doesn't.
