This works, at least in my shell:
rm *.\$\$\$
The trick is to use \ (backslash) to make the shell interpret the '$'
character literally.
It might be shell dependent, but so might be the other stuff we were just
discussing (with '..?*' files). (By "might be" I mean that I don't know
enough about other shells to know that they work the same way as mine
[tcsh].)
