Default Dollar symbol at the end of a METAR?

I was reading a METAR yesterday, and a dollar symbol appeared at the end of it. There is no reference to the symbol in any of my books. I don't have a FAR/AIM to look at currently. $?

It means its broken somehow and in need of maintenance. Sorry, don't have a reference for you though.

That's what I was thinking, but couldn't verify it.

It means the guy who owns the metar station is going to have to open up his wallet to fix it.
