An issue arose while using org table mode to display a list of files and
whether or not they exist using file-exists-p as a formula. However the
file names contain dollar signs in their name so org-mode tries to
reference that column which may or may not exist. I believe this is a bug,
or perhaps I want to use some type of max depth option. Passing the literal
flag doesn't help in this case.

Here is the original SO question including the example which lead me here:

Hi,

unfortunately, there is currently no fix for this.  $500 is seen as a column specification.

The easy fix:  Don't use file names with dollars in them - this is a source of pain.
