Both should not be used unless you've just had a specific success/failure. So both often gets used in cases where they aren't guaranteed to be set to something appropriate (whatever they were set to previously).

More often than not, what do $1 and $! have in common?
Depending on what font you're viewing the code in, they have most of their pixels in common.

One hundred cents?
Examine what is said, not who speaks.
1) When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
2) The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible
3) Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Wouldn't it be $1.875, not $1.00? Following dga's logic: 15 bits. If you remember the "Shave and a haircut, 2 bits" ditty, then you know that one bit is 12.5 cents.
12.5 cents * 15 bits = 187.5 cents = 1.875 dollars
