This is my solution in Python3
def remove_dollar(string: str) -> float: remove_char = string.replace('$', '' ).replace(' ', '') return float(remove_char)
EDIT: Removed space, thanks for correcting me guys
you alse need to remove space from the string to avoid the exception
This was great, but failed (Python 3.8) the first test due to the added space - added an additional replace and passed all tests.

Thank you!
You could also use the method strip
strip
return float(string.strip("$"))
strip doc:
S.strip([chars]) -> str Return a copy of the string S with leading and trailing whitespace removed. If chars is given and not None, remove characters in chars instead.

This doesn't work with string = "-$ 0.1" isn't it? I'd rather prefer the replace way :P
