I also tried this one as a workaround, but it also fails:
{code}
    @Test
    public void testReplaceEscapingDollarSign() {
        values.put("amount", "20.00");
        values.put("dollar", "$");
        doTestReplace("The quick brown fox paid $20.00 to jump over the lazy dog.",
                      "The ${animal} paid ${dollar}${amount} to jump over the ${target}.", false);
    }
{code}
{noformat}
org.junit.ComparisonFailure: expected:<...ick brown fox paid $[20.00] to jump over the la...> but was:<...ick brown fox paid $[{amount}] to jump over the la...>
	at org.junit.Assert.assertEquals(Assert.java:115)
	at org.junit.Assert.assertEquals(Assert.java:144)
	at org.apache.commons.lang3.text.StrSubstitutorTest.doTestReplace(StrSubstitutorTest.java:643)
	at org.apache.commons.lang3.text.StrSubstitutorTest.testReplaceEscapingDollarSign(StrSubstitutorTest.java:171)
{noformat}

If you set the 'amount' variable with a dollar sign prefix, or if you put a space between dollar variable and amount variable, then it may look working, but it gives a big limitation in my use case.

> (I put double dollar signs like $$${amount} because $ is the default escape character.)
> Because I put three dollar signs in total, it should give one dollar sign followed by the resolved amount value: "$20.00".
> But, the result was:"...ick brown fox paid $${amount} to jump over the la…".

> The second assertion failed. So, it seems working in case of "<${animal}", but not working in case of "<$${amount}".

> I think escape character handling is inconsistent.
