dollar vs dollars

[Daniellll]

Hi,

I am french educated and in french we say "3 millions" whereas in english we say "3 million". I am wondering if the same applies for dollars. i.e if I want to say $1000 do I say dollar or dollars?
thanks
D

It cost $1,000 (a thousand dollars)
The yacht cost $3,000,000 (three million dollars)
I paid with a $100 note ( a one hundred dollar note)

:up: Note David's last example:

The yacht cost three million dollars
but
ɪt was a three million dollar yacht
