That looks very odd to me too, but... at the same time, the standard way of writing it makes no sense given how it's pronounced. It's written with the dollar sign first, but when you say it, you say "dollars" last. I wonder why it came to be the convention that it's written in that order.

Because you take it as a whole. It's the same reason we don't say words by spelling them.

No, I mean... I feel like that explains why we can read "$20" as "twenty dollars" with no difficulty, but it doesn't really explain why we write it that way in the first place, rather than writing "20$" (whereas we do write, say, "20¢" rather than "¢20").
