How to filter out the account name ending with "$"?

I have data looks like below

    AccountName
    account1-abc$
    account2-abc$
    account3-xyz$
    account4

I want to filter out the account name end with $ with following query

AccountName!=*$

I expect it only return account4 however it does not return anything. if I do following query

AccountName!=*adc$

it does only return me
account3-xyz$ and account4
Any suggestion why the first search does not do what expected but the second query did what expect? is that because $ is special character?

Thanks in advance
