Presentation Variable value contains dollar signs - confusion and erroneous insight title ensues!

[RADSr]

I have a presentation variable which can have many values drawn from a table.column of type string.

Among those are things like "Earn more $$ now!" and "$10 off next answer" which contain dollar signs.

When I reference them in an insight title (as e.g.  $$PV_VarName )  I get a mishmash of the variable value and the variable name depending upon where the dollar signs are located -- or I just get $$PV_VarName as plain text.

Is there a way to work around this w/out fiddling w/ the data itself?  ( IOW, I don't want to start formula columns which parse strings looking for dollar signs and presenting values other than what is in the source ). 

Thx,
