Escape the $ sign

Hi All,
Can't seem to get the correct regex to escape out the $ sign for ...
http://www.publicdebt.treas.gov/opd/opdpenny.htm
Current Amount
02/05/2007 $8,696,353,575,213.24
I'm trying to pull down the national debt figure.
Tried things like the following but not working yet.
PS H:\> [regex] $debt = '$8,696,353,575,213.24'
PS H:\> $debt.tostring()
$8,696,353,575,213.24
PS H:\> $debt.match("`$\d,\d{3,3}")
PS H:\> $debt.match("\`$\d,\d{3,3}")
PS H:\> $debt.match("\$\d,\d{3,3}")
Thanks for any help.

the regex need to be in the constuctor

PoSH> [regex] $debt = '\$\d,\d{3,3}'
PoSH> $debt.Match('$8,696,353,575,213.24')


Groups : {$8,696}
Success : True
Captures : {$8,696}
Index : 0
Length : 6
Value : $8,696

Perfect. Works great.
Just had it all upside down I guess.
Thanks for the help.
