Currency field zeroing out if users enter a $

I am going nuts! My form is all perfect and ready to distribute, and someone reports that a field won't accept a number, it keeps reverting to zero. Turns out she is adding a $, which I have read you cannot put into a numeric field, so I try to write a validation pattern message to say "hey, no symbols here, please" but it will not pop up with an error message when the user leaves that field.

Is this possible? I have it worked out on my date field just fine.

Something wrong with the field patterns settings.

If the Edit pattern is set to num{($zzzz9.99)} , the user will able to enter a $ sign.

Just remove the edit pattern and try it out.
