The Y axis of the graph which actually has relevant information. You are looking at a campaign page, and assuming those Colombian pesos are available to the author’s team.

When you said “the image” I thought you were looking at the right one, and I thought it odd you were off several orders of magnitude from what I assumed to be your misunderstanding. That explains that. I had to go back and find your figure.

Ah, I didn't look closely at the charges graph. So yes, it maxed at ~5000 USD per day.

I gotta say that using "$" for both USD and COP is confusing. So you must say "USD $x" and "COP $x". Then why bother with the "$"?

apparently the $ sign has its origins in the spanish Peso, where the p and s were gradually being merged together in abbreviations.

futhermore the US Dollar itself stems from the Spanish Dollar:

"The U.S. dollar was directly based on the Spanish Milled Dollar when, in the Coinage Act of 1792, the first Mint Act, its value was fixed [..] as being "of the value of a Spanish milled dollar as the same is now current

there's over 20 different types of "dollars"

Context. Canadian dollars use $ too, and you only see CAD near the border or when it isn’t clear. If I’m a Colombian using a Colombian site and pesos use $, I don’t need the context. Also, properly, you’d say 5 USD, not USD $5; the dollar sigil is then redundant.

There’s a bit of americentrism down the confusing line of thought, for what it’s worth.
