You can either switch raw mode off for a line:

  #raw
  this $dolar sign will not be expanded
  #end raw
  my interface is $ETH0
  #raw
  this $dolar sign either will not be expanded
  #end raw

or do not use raw mode and escape appropriate $ signs:

  this \$dolar sign will not be expanded
  my interface is $ETH0
  this \$dolar sign either will not be expanded
