> Double dollar signs is a [built-in method for escaping columns that may contain single quotes in its content](https://docs.datastax.com/en/cql/3.3/cql/cql_reference/escape_char_r.html). The way this is handled however is not consistent, in the sense that it allows for $ to appear in the middle of the string but not in the last char.
> *Examples:*
> Valid: insert into users(id, name) values(1, $$john$$)
> Inserts the string *john*
> Valid: insert into users(id, name) values(1, $$jo$hn$$)
> Inserts the string *jo$hn*
> Valid: insert into users(id, name) values(1, $$$john$$)
> Inserts the string *$john*
> Invalid: insert into users(id, name) values(1, $$john$$$)
> Fails with:
> {code}
> Invalid syntax at line 1, char 48
>   insert into users(id, name) values(1, $$john$$$);
> {code}
