Step 1: Type a dollar sign
Open a new Document with 300 pixels by 340 pixels. Type a dollar sign with Type Tool and Expand it. (Object > Expand).
Step 2: Create second sign
By selecting the sign, choose Object>Path>Offset Path, enter a positive value to create a larger duplicate. I entered 5 pt and clicked OK.
Step 3: Draw lines
Draw lines to bisect the paths at their corners, select the drawn lines and both dollar signs, and then click the Divide button in the Pathfinder panel.
The Divide button converts all enclosed areas into separate closed paths. Use the Direct Selection Tool to delete line extras. Now you can give any color to your sign.
