Hi Ashley,
As already mentioned in the comment above, using a text field and then wrapping in the dollar function. You could also go through the ways mentioned in a related post below :

The way I have always done this is to have the input as a text field, and then wrap the display in the dollar() function.

You can then run validations on the input to ensure they only enter a valid number. Alternatively, you can use the stripwith() function on the saveInto to remove all non-valid characters from the input, and then cast that result using todecimal().
