This really is a user question and not a blocker bug.  I don't know why I never
saw this issue, something must have been wrong with my mail system, so sorry
you had to wait that long for an answer.

For historical reasons Ant translates $$ to $ as a way to escape property
references.

stefan@birdy:/tmp$ cat dollar.xml 
<project name="test" basedir=".">
    <property name="value1" value="SNAPTIME$"/>
    <property name="value2" value="SNAPTIME$$"/>
    <property name="value3" value="SNAPTIME$$$"/>
    <property name="value4" value="SNAPTIME$$$$"/>

    <target name="print">
        <echo message="$${value1}: ${value1}"/>
        <echo message="$${value2}: ${value2}"/>
        <echo message="$${value3}: ${value3}"/>
        <echo message="$${value4}: ${value4}"/>
    </target>
</project>
stefan@birdy:/tmp$ ant -f dollar.xml print
Buildfile: /tmp/dollar.xml

print:
     [echo] ${value1}: SNAPTIME$
     [echo] ${value2}: SNAPTIME$
     [echo] ${value3}: SNAPTIME$$
     [echo] ${value4}: SNAPTIME$$

This is Ant 1.8.2.

Three or four $s should do.
